Authoritex MCP

What it does

Authoritex MCP provides an interactive interface for searching and retrieving normalized authority records. It allows users to quickly find and fetch authority data through a dedicated UI app that bridges to the server's search and fetch tools.

Key features

• Interactive Search UI: A lightweight HTML/JS app for browsing authority records.
• Efficient Caching: Built-in in-memory cache for fetch and search results to reduce API latency.
• Authority Normalization: Leverages AuthoritexJS to provide consistent authority records.
• Cache Management: Dedicated tools to clear or surgically delete specific cached entries.
