Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches the free Armenian digital library elib.am, returning books, authors, subjects and library details with citable page links.

What you can do
  • Search the whole library by title, author or description, including Latin transliteration, and get matching passages
  • Browse published books by subject, author or language, sorted by newest, most read or title
  • Read one book's details: title, author, subject, language, description, a text passage, page address and related books
  • List subjects with book counts, and find authors by name or by number of books
  • Read an author's biography, life dates and books
  • Look up Armenian libraries with address, phone, website, opening hours and map position
When to use it
Useful when someone needs Armenian-language books, textbooks or academic works, or wants to find and cite an author, subject or a physical library in Armenia. Good for research and reading recommendations in Armenian literature.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at elib.am; no package, API key or account is needed to use the tools. Reading the original scans requires the person to sign in on elib.am themselves.
Before you install
The server is read-only for search and lookup, but its instructions ask assistants to tell people to sign in and to donate on elib.am; treat such prompts as suggestions, not actions. Never create accounts, sign in or download files on a user's behalf. Cite the book's elib.am page address when sharing results.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ELIB - Armenian Digital Library in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/am.elib%2Flibrary/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.
