What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

search
Search an encyclopedia for facts about a person, place, thing, event, or concept: Edgepedia, more than 500,000 articles with citations. Pass the subject's name ("Mount Fuji", "photosynthesis"), not a question; other names and misspellings match, and when no title matches, article
fetch
Read an encyclopedia article in full: one Edgepedia article as Markdown with its citations, by a `search` result's id. Returns id, title, text, url, and metadata (topic path, license, credit). A `topic:` id lists that topic's parent, narrower topics, and articles, 120 a page; `to
related
Find encyclopedia articles related to an Edgepedia article: its topic-mates, a few from each neighboring topic, and its geography neighbors. Pass its id, as for `fetch`. Returns groups of results; `fetch` a group's `topic` id for more.
connect
Find the shortest chain of in-text links from one Edgepedia article to another (at most 6 hops), with the sentence that makes each hop; pass two ids as `search` returns them.
resolve
Find which encyclopedia article a name means: Edgepedia's best match for a person, place, thing, or concept named in a text, with a confidence, whether the name is ambiguous, and the alternatives. Pass the name ("Mercury"), and optionally words from the text around it (`context`:

Common questions

Is Edgepedia safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.1) reached the registry 6 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Edgepedia MCP server

The official MCP server for Edgepedia, a free encyclopedia by EdgeChat: more than 500,000 articles with citations, and constantly growing. It lets an AI assistant search Edgepedia and read whole articles.

Address: https://www.edgechat.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP). No key, no sign-up, read-only.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.edgechat/edgepedia.

Corpus 1.9

The current release is Edgepedia 1.9.1 (November 1, 2026), which puts plots back behind the Spoilers section in 24,257 film and series articles. It follows Edgepedia 1.9.0 (October 31, 2026), which added 34,848 new articles on arts and culture, history and society, the physical sciences, and technology, and rewrote 150,691 more from fresh research; Edgepedia holds 519,064 articles.

Earlier releases: Edgepedia updates.

Inspect the API root for current corpus_version, corpus_updated, and release_notes metadata. The MCP initialization instructions include the same metadata. Corpus releases and MCP package versions are independent: corpus 1.9 does not mean MCP package version 1.9.

Tools

Tool	Input	Returns
`search`	`query`: a subject's name, not a question	Matching articles: id, title, link, and the published summary, falling back to the article opening when no summary is available. Other names and misspellings work ("Zhu Yuanzhang" finds the Hongwu Emperor). Words that name a topic ("science fiction writers") also return that topic.
`fetch`	`id`: an article's or topic's id; `citations` (optional)	One article as Markdown, with its link, date, topic, license, and credit line. `citations: false` swaps inline source links for `[n]` markers, about a quarter shorter. A topic's id lists its articles. Optional: up to 10 ids at once, one section, a token budget, or only the passages that match your words.
`related`	`id`: an article's id	Articles related to it: its topic-mates, a few from each neighboring topic, and its geography neighbors.
`connect`	`from`, `to`: two article ids	The shortest chain of in-text links from one article to the other (at most 6 hops), with the sentence that makes each hop.
`resolve`	`name`, and optionally `context`: words from the text around it	Which article a name means, with a confidence and the alternatives ("Jaguar" beside "British car maker" is Jaguar Land Rover; beside "big cat" it is the animal).

All five tools are annotated read-only. Try asking:

*When did Mount Fuji last erupt? Use Edgepedia.*
*What is Mwindo Fossae on Pluto? Use Edgepedia.*
*Who was Zhu Yuanzhang? Use Edgepedia.*
*How is Marie Curie connected to Mount Fuji? Use Edgepedia.*
*Give me the credit line for Edgepedia's Marie Curie article.*

Reference cards

Use the reference-card builder to find an article, choose automatic, light, or dark appearance, and copy its embed code. Each card shows the title, complete published summary, Edgepedia credit, and a link to the full article. The optional sizing script adjusts the iframe height; without it, the card remains readable and scrollable.

The standalone HTML example embeds Cantor's diagonal argument, using canonical article ID ep9kcz7eym:

<iframe data-edgepedia-card src="https://www.edgechat.ai/embed/ep9kcz7eym?theme=auto"

title="Edgepedia: Cantor's diagonal argument" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox" style="width:100%;height:360px;border:0">

No MCP client?

Plain JSON API, same reads: www.edgechat.ai/developers (OpenAPI). Every article is also Markdown at its own address: www.edgechat.ai/koala.md.
Agent Skill: skills/edgepedia/SKILL.md teaches an agent to use that API.
Examples in examples/: curl, Python, and JavaScript, with no dependencies.

Limits

600 calls a minute and 100,000 a day per IP address, for the API and the MCP server alike. Please cache.
