In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Xianmi Library MCP Server search the library for 金刚经 and show me the first result"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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.

{
"mcpServers": {
"xianmi": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.xianmi.co/mcp"
}
}
