Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search Yore's sourced place studies and retrieve a full decade-by-decade account of a town, county or city.

What you can do
Provides three tools over a remote endpoint. search_places finds researched places by words from a place name or region, optionally filtered by decade. get_place returns the full study of one place in one decade as Markdown, covering work, faith, law and power, money, fears, a year-by-year list, and numbered sources with links. about_yore explains how the studies are researched, what the certainty labels mean, what they do not cover, and how to cite them.
When to use it
Useful for historical or local-context questions about a specific town, county or city in a particular decade, and for answers that need cited sources. Less suited to current events or places Yore has not researched.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at yorehistory.com; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. The manifest declares no authentication.
Before you install
The studies are third-party research with stated certainty labels and coverage limits; check the cited sources before relying on details. The manifest declares no authentication or credentials, so no secrets are requested.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Yore: places in their time 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/com.yorehistory%2Fplaces/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

search_places

Search places in their time

Find the places Yore has researched: each is a sourced study of what one town, county or city was like in one decade (work, faith, law, money, dangers, news, year by year). Search by any words from the place's name or region ("Wilkes-Barre", "Luzerne Pennsylvania", "Essex England"), optionally in one decade. With no query it lists everything.

Parameterslimitquerydecade

get_place

Read one place in one decade

The full study of one place in one decade as Markdown: a look around, work, faith, law and power, money, what people feared, a year-by-year list, what each source says, and the numbered sources with links.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
