Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to fabulotheca.org, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP search over a scholarly folklore corpus, returning verbatim passages with exact bibliographic references.

What you can do: Search a corpus of Russian and European folk tales and folklore studies, including tale-type indexes (ATU / SUS)
Show a list of matching sources and expand chosen ones into verbatim fragments
Retrieve surrounding context for a passage and find where a source can be obtained
Check collection statistics and account details, and read a usage guide
When to use it: Useful for folklore, fairy-tale and tale-type research where exact quotations and citations matter, or for checking which sources discuss a motif or tale type.
Requirements: A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. Access is by application through an English or Russian form, after which each user gets a personal URL whose key acts as the password, added as a custom connector in the AI client. OAuth authentication is required; there is no anonymous public endpoint.

Before you install

The personal URL key functions as a password, so it should be kept private. The service is free only until 1 January 2027. Texts are machine-recognised, so quotations should be checked against the originals. The corpus is mostly Russian, and the interface is English and Russian only.

README

Fabulotheca — MCP search server for folklore & fairy-tale studies

Fabulotheca (https://fabulotheca.org/en) is a search service over a scholarly corpus on Russian and European folk tales and folklore studies: 2,000+ full-text sources and 5,000+ catalogued works, with tale-type indexes (ATU / SUS). It returns verbatim fragments with exact bibliographic references — it does not paraphrase and does not serve files.

Free until 1 January 2027. Texts are machine-recognised; check quotations against the original.

Connect

It is a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Each user gets a personal URL of the form https://fabulotheca.org/mcp/<personal-key> (the key acts as the password).

Apply at https://fabulotheca.org/en/apply (English form; a short application).
You receive the personal link in your account straight after the application.
Add it as a custom connector / remote MCP server in your AI client — step-by-step guides: https://fabulotheca.org/en/connect

There is no public anonymous endpoint, so catalogs cannot connect to it; access is by application. Server card: https://fabulotheca.org/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json

Tools

Tools

This server asks for a credential such as an API key, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without one and has not indexed them.

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.
