Details
From the project READMESAKH — Ayatollah Khamenei Research Corpus (MCP Server)
A remote Model Context Protocol server that gives researchers direct access to the corpus of Sayyid Ali Khamenei — juridical rulings, lectures and intellectual writings in Arabic and Persian — through seven read-only tools.
This repository hosts the public listing and documentation for the SAKH MCP server. The server itself is hosted and operated by SADIQOON TECHNOLOGIES LTD; this repo does not contain its source.

What it does
Retrieval is hybrid: dense multilingual embeddings combined with sparse keyword matching, fused by reciprocal rank and then re-ranked, so a question phrased in ordinary language reaches the right passage even when the wording differs from the source.
Alongside the text corpus sits a knowledge graph of roughly 145,000 concepts joined by evidence-bearing relations (grounded-in, opposes, critiques, derives-from), which lets a researcher trace the structure of an argument rather than only collect quotations.
Every answer carries its source — book, page and chapter — and the system reports its own match confidence rather than presenting weak results as strong. It never composes a ruling that is not in the corpus.
Tools
All seven are read-only; none is destructive.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
