Machine Access
For AI Agents
Mystery Schools AI exposes its knowledge graph, corpus, and series architecture through an MCP server and a suite of machine-readable text endpoints. Eight tools. 4,691 embedded passages. 713 KB entries. No scraping required.
MCP Server
Connect any MCP-compatible client to query the knowledge graph, search the corpus, and retrieve structured episode and series data.
MCP access is approved by request in phase 1. It is a separate developer path — not bundled into standard membership. Approved accounts receive a user-bound API key. Send it as x-api-key or as a Bearer token.
Contact the project to request developer access.

}Tools
Eight tools registered on the server. Each returns structured text for agent consumption.
search_corpus
Semantic corpus search
4,691 embedded passages from 154 texts — classical philosophy, Hermetic literature, Vedic scripture, initiatic traditions, and critical theory.
params: query, topK (max 20)
get_concept
Concept lookup
Retrieve any of 83+ concepts by name or ID. Initiation, Katabasis, Epopteia, Participation, Gnosis, Theurgy, Apophatic, Mundus Imaginalis, and more.
params: name or id
get_figure
Figure biography
Intellectual biographies of 113 thinkers: Eliade, Barfield, Gebser, Plotinus, Guénon, Corbin, Burkert, Steiner, and others. Dates, domain, key works, KB relations.
params: name or id
get_sources
Library sources
Source texts connected to the knowledge graph — 346 books with bibliographic data. Filter by category.
params: category (optional)
get_knowledge_graph
Full knowledge graph
All nodes (concepts, figures, books, timeline events) and all named relations between them.
params: none
browse_imagery
Imagery corpus
109 curated images: alchemical manuscripts, Hermetic illustrations, classical archaeology, portraits, Neoplatonic diagrams. Filter by category or search by tag.
params: category, search (both optional)
get_series
Series architecture
Full series architecture across 7 tracks, 25 series, ~231 episodes. Filter by track.
params: track (optional)
get_episode
Episode metadata
Retrieve episode status, featured concepts and figures, primary sources, and media availability. Lookup by ID or title, or filter by status and track.
params: id, status, track (all optional)
Text Endpoints
Public, unauthenticated, cached. For crawlers and agents that prefer plain text over MCP.
Project overview and index of all machine-accessible surfaces. Start here.
Full public content dump — concepts, figures, sources, graph, series, imagery in one file.
Complete episode listing across all tracks and series.
All concepts with definitions, traditions, and cross-references.
All figures with biographies, dates, and key works.
All connected library sources with bibliographic data.
Full knowledge graph as plain text — all nodes and edges.
Knowledge Base
Three entity types with named relations between them. Every episode references KB entries; every KB entry cross-references related entries.
Access tiers. Text endpoints and the public knowledge base are open to everyone, no key required. Semantic search over the knowledge base requires a free sign-in. MCP is a separate developer surface available by request in phase 1 — approved accounts receive user-bound keys. Standard membership does not automatically include MCP access.
Rate limits. The MCP server allows 120 requests per hour. Text endpoints are public and cached at the edge.
Copyright. The corpus contains copyrighted material used under research and commentary principles. MCP tools return interpretive summaries and selected passages, not verbatim reproductions.
Developer access. To request an approved developer key, see the project log.
