Yore History MCP

An official Model Context Protocol server provided by Yore that allows AI assistants to search and read published historical place studies. It enables agents to retrieve detailed information about towns in specific decades, including work, faith, law, money, and dangers, citing original sources rather than relying on general memory.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http yore-history-mcp https://yorehistory.com/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 yore-history-mcp --url https://yorehistory.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable yore-history-mcp in your MCP settings.

      "url": "https://yorehistory.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.
