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 →
What is Gita & Mahabharata mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around gita and mahabharata. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Gita & Mahabharata 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 326 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Gita & Mahabharata?
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 Gita & Mahabharata need an API key?
No. Gita & Mahabharata completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Gita & Mahabharata?
It answers our handshake in 326 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
