MCP Server

Connect the Epstein File Explorer knowledge graph directly to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources and tools. By adding this MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, your AI assistant can directly search documents, explore entities, read extracted text, and navigate the knowledge graph — all within your conversation.
