Search historical texts and mythology references with citation URLs from The Old Ways library.
What it does
library is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
No capability identified yet from its description.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

3 tools offered to AI assistants
search_library· Search the Old Ways historical-text and mythology reference collection: Norse, Greek/Hellenic, Egyptian/Kemetic, Celtic and Zoroastrian writings, glossary, deity profiles and explanatory questions. Returns canonical citation URLs and shortread_page· Read a bounded text excerpt from an indexed public theoldways.co page. Supply a canonical URL or path returned by search_library. Returns a citation URL, edition/source note, text and nextOffset for continuation. Never accesses arbitrary welist_collections· List available book landing pages, traditions, content types, index-build timestamp and the source policy before exploring The Old Ways. Index-build time is not the publication date of a historical text.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
