epsteinexposed-mcp
Model Context Protocol server exposing the Epstein Exposed public API as AI-agent tool calls.
Plug directly into any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, SmolAgents, etc.) to search persons, documents, flight logs, and emails from the Epstein case files.
Disclaimer: Inclusion in the Epstein Exposed database does not imply guilt or wrongdoing. All data is derived from publicly released government records.

The toolchain
This repository is one of four that share a data source and a design system:
Repo | Role |
Python client for the public API | |
MCP server — structured search (this repo) | |
MCP server — semantic search (in development) | |
Natural-language chat app |
A 20-second overview of how the four fit together:
Design system
All four repositories share the "Declassified" visual language — a dark
archival palette with a single ember accent, monospace structure and Inter
prose. The canonical tokens live in brand/tokens.css
and the rationale in brand/DESIGN.md; both files are
byte-identical across the four repos.
The VitePress theme maps --vp-* onto that palette in
docs/.vitepress/theme/custom.css.

TDQS
A4.3/5.0
Scored across 5 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting different data types: cross_search covers both documents and emails, get_person retrieves detailed person info, search_documents focuses on documents, search_flights handles flight logs, and search_persons finds person records. There is no overlap in functionality, making tool selection straightforward for an agent.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case: cross_search, get_person, search_documents, search_flights, and search_persons. The naming is predictable and readable, with no deviations in style or convention.
Tool Count5/5
With 5 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of exploring Epstein-related data. Each tool serves a specific and necessary function (searching across data types, retrieving person details, and searching documents, flights, and persons), with no redundant or missing tools for the domain.
Completeness5/5
The tool surface provides complete coverage for the domain of investigating Epstein case data. It includes search capabilities across all key data types (documents, emails, flights, persons) and detailed retrieval for persons, enabling comprehensive exploration without obvious gaps or dead ends.
