Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Semantic (embedding-based) search over the p05 collection of Xianmi Library (xianmi.co): ~1.8k modern Chinese vernacular translations (白话译文) of Buddhist scriptures, Simplified Chinese. Best for natural-language conceptual queries (e.g. "如何消除烦恼", "因果报应的道理"); for exact-quote or full-library keyword search use search_texts instead. Returns matched passages with relevance scores, page URLs and get_passage hints. Attribution required: see the license pointer included in every response.

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http xianmi-library-mcp https://mcp.xianmi.co/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add xianmi-library-mcp --url https://mcp.xianmi.co/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable xianmi-library-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xianmi-library-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.xianmi.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
