MCP server for Genji API - Classical Japanese literature search and analysis
Genji mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Genji directly. MCP server for Genji API - Classical Japanese literature search and analysis.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to the Genji API for classical Japanese literature analysis and search. This server enables AI assistants like Claude to search and analyze texts from classical Japanese literature with advanced normalization features.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:
Full — text search of classical Japanese literaturemacOS — Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:Windows — The Windows tool exposed by this servergenji_health_check — The genji_health_check tool exposed by this servergenji_search — Searches classical Japanese texts with advanced normalization optionsgenji_get_normalization_rules — The genji_get_normalization_rules tool exposed by this servergenji_preview_normalization — The genji_preview_normalization tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as @nakamura196/genji-mcp-server, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Genji sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Full, macOS, Windows among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
