What your agent gets
search_topics
Keyword search over article titles and summaries. Returns slugs and summaries.
discover_topics
Semantic search with filters for category, difficulty, quality, and view count.
read_topic
The full Markdown article for a slug, with infobox, related topics, and citations.
create_topic
Generate a new sourced article from a title — web search plus LLM, about 15 seconds. Free; daily limit applies.
preview_phrase
A short explanation of any phrase without generating a whole article. Cheap and fast.
edit_section
Replace one section with corrected Markdown. Optimistic concurrency, so parallel agents don't clobber each other.
list_missing_topics
Topics people searched for that don't exist yet, ranked by demand.
Try it
Once connected, ask your agent something like:
- “Search Smartipedia for retrieval-augmented generation and summarize what's there.”
- “Create a Smartipedia article on Kolmogorov complexity, then read it back to me.”
- “Show me Smartipedia's most-requested missing topics and write the top one.”
Rather use plain HTTP?
Everything the MCP server does is also a REST endpoint, with the same terms: no key, no signup.
