This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Remote MCP server for Xianmi Library (显密文库) — a non-profit digital library of ~250,000 pages of Chinese Buddhist texts: sutras and commentaries, Chinese/Tibetan/Theravada traditions, and modern Chinese translations of the canon.
It wraps the library's already-public interfaces (full-text search API and per-page Markdown sources) in the MCP protocol, so AI assistants can search and read the library directly.
POST https://mcp.xianmi.co/mcpTransport: Streamable HTTP (stateless). No authentication. CORS is open.
Connect from any MCP client that supports remote servers, e.g.:
{
"mcpServers": {
"xianmi": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.xianmi.co/mcp"
}
}

param | type | default | description |
| string (required) | — | Search keywords, e.g. |
|
|
| Simplified or Traditional Chinese edition |
| integer ≥ 1 |
| Result page, 10 per page |
Returns ranked titles, page URLs, snippets, and a ready-to-use get_passage call hint per hit.
get_passageFetch the complete Markdown source of one article.
param | type | default | description |
| string (required) | — | Article path, e.g. |

Typical flow: search_texts("金刚经") → pick a hit → get_passage("p02/h/2186/94639").
semantic_searchSemantic (embedding-based) search over the p05 Buddhist Sutras collection (~1.8k public-domain scriptures, modern Simplified Chinese) via Cloudflare AI Search. Best for natural-language conceptual queries; for exact quotes or full-library keyword search, use search_texts.
param | type | default | description |
| string (required) | — | Natural-language query, e.g. |
| integer 1–20 |
| Max documents to return |
Returns matched passages with relevance scores, page URLs, and get_passage hints.
Every response carries a source URL and a license pointer. Content on xianmi.co falls into three classes (CC0 / MIT / public domain); details and usage terms: https://www.xianmi.co/open/. Attribution is required when republishing.
To keep the service free, usage is capped: semantic_search 800 calls/month (semantic queries are metered upstream), search_texts and get_passage 5,000 calls/day each. When a cap is reached the tool says so and suggests an alternative.
This repo also ships an Agent Skill at skills/xianmi-library/SKILL.md: the methodology for AI agents to use the library well — tool selection strategy (semantic vs keyword vs full-text), the no-MCP fallback (/api/search + /md/ + llms.txt), language-edition choice, citation format, and the meaning of the <!-- verse:* --> verse anchors found in Markdown sources. Drop the skills/xianmi-library/ directory into any Agent-Skills-compatible client.
