概要

What is Tripitaka MCP?

Tripitaka MCP is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude and any MCP-compatible client access to the full Pāli Tipiṭaka — approximately 444,000 segments aligned with SuttaCentral’s bilara-data. It includes the Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli + Bhikkhu Sujato English), Vinaya Piṭaka (Pāli + Bhikkhu Brahmali English), and Abhidhamma Piṭaka (Pāli only). It is designed for scholars, researchers, and practitioners studying Buddhist texts.

How to use Tripitaka MCP?

You can use the hosted version by adding the provided configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file, which uses npx mcp-remote to connect to https://mcp.tripitaka-mcp.com/mcp. For self-hosting, clone the repository and run ./scripts/install.sh for a five-minute setup using a prepared HuggingFace dump.
