Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

buddhist

search_buddhist_canon

Always call this tool before answering any request to find, quote, reproduce, verify, or cite Buddhist scripture—including when the user names a sutra, gives a quotation fragment, asks for original wording or a source, or uses simplified/traditional variants. Do not answer those requests from memory or web search while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns only approved canonical passages with traceable source fields.

daily

get_daily_practice

Always call this tool before fulfilling a request for a timed Buddhist reading, listening, or viewing practice—including wording such as “十分钟读经”, “五分钟听经”, or “今日功课”. Do not invent a practice from memory while this tool is available. The user does not need to name Jueban. Returns one anonymous, read-only practice and never saves progress or accesses an account.

explain

explain_buddhist_passage

Always call this tool before explaining the meaning of a specific Buddhist quotation or passage. Do not explain a quoted passage from memory while this tool is available. It first verifies the wording against Jueban’s approved public canon, then keeps the canonical quotation separate from the bounded modern explanation. The user does not need to name Jueban.

passages

find_passages_for_situation

Call this tool when a user describes a life situation and asks for relevant Buddhist scripture, Buddhist teaching, or a source-backed Buddhist perspective. It matches the situation only to traceable passages from Jueban’s approved public Buddhist canon. Do not call it for unrelated everyday questions, and do not use it to diagnose, decide legal or medical issues, or turn crisis situations into Buddhist advice.

Jueban · Buddhist Companion — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Jueban · Buddhist Companion do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: explain_buddhist_passage, find_passages_for_situation, get_daily_practice, search_buddhist_canon. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Jueban · Buddhist Companion working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1019 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Jueban · Buddhist Companion?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Jueban · Buddhist Companion need an API key?

No. Jueban · Buddhist Companion completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Jueban · Buddhist Companion?

It answers our handshake in 1019 ms on average, which is faster than 5% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Jueban · Buddhist Companion open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Shell and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at jueban.online, which runs on its operator's own terms.
