Balthasar & Speyr Catalogue is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 22 tools, among them aggregate_catalog, count_catalog, export_bibliography. It answers at https://mcp.balthasarspeyr.org/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 4 of 4 times since 23 September 2026; the last check, on 6 November 2026, succeeded.
Public catalogue, semantic search and source texts of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr.

Empty filters download the entire unified bibliography; filter by workIds, publicationIds, Basel references, author, language, year Inputs: filters, recordType, offset, pageSize, includeInline |
get_bibliography_source | Read the supplied Basel bibliography's original PDF pages, including all edition/translation changes, cross-references, contextual notes and unnumbered supplements. The source revision, hash, completeness limitations and original PDF downlo Inputs: page, pageSize |

get_publication_text | Read the downloadable EPUB/PDF text in ordered sections. Continue using nextOffset until null. Includes source URL, format and locators. Does not assume publication.text is complete. A collective source is the publication text, not necessar Inputs: publicationId, offset, limit |
get_publications | Get detailed publication records by filters.publicationIds or any combination of listing filters, including workTypes and publicationTypes. Paginated; full texts use get_publication_text. Inputs: filters, offset, page, pageSize, facets, sortBy |
get_topic_evidence | Read bounded evidence for precomputed editorial, lexical or optional semantic topic assignments. Supports bibliography filters including baselReferences. Continue using nextOffset. Inputs: filters, offset, page, pageSize |
get_topics_by_period | Compare precomputed thematic indicators by period. Editorial and lexical assignments are default; filters.includeSemantic explicitly includes embedding associations. firstYears requires exactly one author and starts at their earliest catalo Inputs: filters, offset, page, pageSize, interval, periods |

list_journals | List identified journals with aliases, distinct article counts and documented original years. Unknown references are reported by count_catalog. Inputs: filters, offset, page, pageSize |
list_publications | List publication summaries. workTypes filters contained works; publicationTypes filters derived publication classification. Filters on author/type/original year match the same contained work. Inputs: filters, offset, page, pageSize, facets, sortBy |
list_works | List public works with combinable filters, exact counts and optional facets. Includes works without digital publications. Default year is original publication year. Inputs: filters, offset, page, pageSize, facets, sortBy |
search_life_mission_and_community | Search exact Spanish passages about Balthasar, Speyr, their common mission and the Community of Saint John. Matching is lexical and accent-insensitive; results are source evidence, not generated answers. Inputs: question, subjects, topics, offset, pageSize |
search_publication_text | Find literal phrases, ignoring case and accents, in a public publication's extracted EPUB/PDF text. Returns bounded exact context with locators and nextOffset; no embeddings or generated summaries. A collective publication may contain sever Inputs: publicationId, query, offset, limit |
search_works | Search public catalog metadata and complete or selected passages with multilingual embeddings. Queries may be in any language.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://mcp.balthasarspeyr.org/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
