Chinese History MCP

A traceable Chinese-history MCP server. Four Model Context Protocol tools over 9 classical Chinese texts (pre-Qin to Wei-Jin - 史记 / 汉书 / 后汉书 / 三国志 / 左传 / 论语 / 孟子 / 吕氏春秋 / 资治通鉴). Every result carries a 【book → chapter → paragraph】 citation, and honestly reports its review_status - the server never claims per-item human review it doesn't have. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with chinese history, rag and sinology and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
