MCP

The mcp-server/ package exposes Sutraya’s public read API to MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom agents).

It is a thin HTTP client — no separate database — so ranking and licence filtering stay identical to in-product Ask/search.

Tool Purpose
search_corpus Hybrid semantic + keyword search with URN, snippet, score, reader URL
read_passage One position with every layer plus licence/attribution
get_parallels Parallel layers and same position in other witnesses
resolve_urn Resolve a sutraya: URN to work + reader URL

Point the server at your app:

Terminal window
SUTRAYA_API_BASE_URL=https://sutraya.app/api

For local development, use http://localhost:3010/api.

See the mcp-server/README.md in the application repository for URN details and client setup.
