masnavi.ai — Rumi's Masnavi as an MCP server

The complete Masnavi-ye Maʿnavi of Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī — all 25,635 beyts (couplets) in 6 daftars, 972 sections — served as a free, public, read-only Model Context Protocol server. Your agent can search, quote, verify, and explain Rumi from the canonical text instead of inventing him.

Tools (9)

Tool	What it does
`search`	full-text search across all 25,635 beyts, ranked
`lookup`	a beyt by citation (`M1:1` = daftar 1, beyt 1) with neighbours
`verify`	is this really a line by Rumi? fuzzy-checks a quotation against the corpus
`get_section`	one named section (story) with all its beyts
`get_range`	a full multi-section story in one call (≤500 beyts)
`find_sections`	find a story by (Persian) title fragment
`table_of_contents`	the 972 sections, by daftar
`random_beyt`	a random couplet
`explain`	per-beyt commentary by named scholars

Citations use M{daftar}:{beyt} (e.g. M3:1278). Text sourced from Ganjoor; the Masnavi is in the public domain.

Why

Language models routinely misattribute Persian poetry. This server exists so agents can ground every Rumi quotation in the canonical text — search it, cite it, and verify it — in any language.

This repository holds the public metadata for the hosted server at masnavi.ai; the service itself runs at the endpoint above.
