Overview

What is Sefaria Jewish Library MCP Server?

The Sefaria Jewish Library MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Jewish texts from the Sefaria library. It enables Large Language Models to retrieve and reference Jewish texts through a standardized interface, intended for developers and users who want to integrate Jewish textual resources into AI-driven applications.

How to use Sefaria Jewish Library MCP Server?

Requires Python 3.10 or higher. Clone the repository, then run with uv --directory path/to/directory run sefaria_jewish_library. For Claude Desktop or Cline, add the server configuration as shown in the README. Can also be installed automatically via Smithery using npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-sefaria-server --client claude. Once running, the server exposes four MCP tools.

Key features of Sefaria Jewish Library MCP Server

  • Retrieve Jewish texts by reference (e.g., "Genesis 1:1")

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.10 or higher is required. The project uses the MCP SDK (>=1.1.1) and the Sefaria API.

2

How do I install the server?

Clone the repository, then run via `uv` or configure it in an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) using the provided JSON configuration. You can also use Smithery for automatic installation.

3

Where does the text data come from?

All texts are retrieved live from the Sefaria API; no local database is used. The server queries Sefaria’s public API endpoints.

4

What tools are available?

There are four tools: `get_text` (retrieve a text by reference), `get_commentaries` (get commentaries for a given reference), `search_texts` (search the library by query), and `get_daily_learnings` (return the daily or weekly learning schedule).

5

Does the server support authentication or custom configurations?

No authentication is required. For the `get_daily_learnings` tool, you can optionally specify parameters like `diaspora`, `custom`, `year`, `month`, `day`, and `timezone` to customize the schedule returned.
