Zekher

Zekher's MCP Server

Zekher provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables access to Yad Vashem's Holocaust Lexicon content through any MCP-compatible AI client, including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and custom applications. The server provides structured access to historical information with proper citations and usage guidelines. Unfortunately, no major AI apps support MCP free of charge. Once there is an option, this will cease being simply a developer feature.

Available Capabilities

Once connected, the MCP server provides access to these capabilities. For optimal setup and citation generation, it's important to use both the prompt and tool together:

Tools

yad_vashem_holocaust_lexicon

Search Yad Vashem's Holocaust Lexicon for historical information and terminology. Returns up to 6 sources with proper citations and usage guidelines.

Parameters: Search terms to query the Holocaust Lexicon (maximum 6 terms)

Prompts

holocaust_education_context

Provides context and guidelines for using the Yad Vashem Holocaust Lexicon responsibly and effectively in AI applications.

Type: Prompt template for proper Holocaust education context
