What can it do?

Ask your AI assistant anything about philosophy. The MCP tools give it access to a curated corpus:

• "O que é eudaimonia?" → searches the glossary
• "Tell me about Kant" → fetches the thinker profile
• "¿Cuáles son las síntesis disponibles?" → lists period syntheses
• "Search 'logos' across everything" → full-text search
