Enables users to resolve historical US land and jurisdiction questions: which county held a given spot on a specific date, where a federal land description (PLSS) falls on the ground, and which National Archives series and file hold the case behind a land patent. All lookups are read-only and can be used alongside archive-search tools to route records requests to the right office.

Enables genealogical research against FamilySearch through read-only tools, resolving historical places as they existed at a given date, searching indexed records and collections, fetching the page images behind them, and reading the community-edited shared tree as leads rather than sources. It works anonymously for the gazetteer and catalogue, and uses your own registered application's access token for records, images, and tree access.

Enables users to explore Matricula Online's countries, dioceses and archives, parishes, registers, and pages, search for a village's parish, and get citations and viewer links for genealogical research.

Enables genealogists to look up a Central European place as it stood in a chosen year — its historical name, the civil chain of Kreis, province and state above it, and the parish and Standesamt that kept its registers — and to retrieve every dated enclosure shaped for a dated place tree.

Enables users to search and read UK National Archives catalogue records, browse series and pieces, and find WO 97 soldiers' service documents with parsed details via read-only MCP tools.

Enables searching the record images US state archives and state libraries publish on CONTENTdm, across one or several sites at once, and reading items, pages and transcripts with citation details. Also downloads page images through each site's IIIF service, for genealogy and history research.

Enables searching the Digital Public Library of America's descriptions of over 50 million digitized items held by US libraries, archives, and museums, with faceted counting, full record retrieval, and citation parts naming the holding institution. It also lists page images from holders' IIIF manifests and reports API status, all read-only.
