INDIVIDUAL MCP TOOL

attestation_search

Find where a motif lives in the served texts, three lanes in one call: curated attestations (quotable as filed), wired_citations (Thompson's own citation resolved to an exact served chapter — open it with episode_lookup and quote the text), and computed_leads (keyword matches, ~half real — open, confirm the motif is actually in the episode, silently drop the misses).

motif_lookup — Look up motifs in the Thompson Motif-Index.
tradition_profile — Profile a tradition's shelf: its works, episode counts, and how many motif attestations are filed against it.
episode_lookup — Read an episode of a work.
motif_neighbors — The knowledge graph around one motif: the traditions Thompson filed it under (his index apparatus, ~49k labeled citations), its place in the index hierarchy, his curated cross-references ('travels with'), ATU tale types, the served episodes it is attested in ('attested_in' — live receipted attestations only, each row carrying its own source_ids and receipt, so a graph walk ends at readable text), and a separately labeled bounded computed co-occurrence layer ('keeps company with').
compare_traditions — THE STITCH, as one call: every witness of a motif AND its child motifs (the whole story-shape family), grouped by tradition — curated attestations, wired Thompson citations resolved to served chapters, and the top computed leads (read-and-discard applies).
myth_timeline — THE LONG AXIS: the same witnesses as compare_traditions but ordered by composition era, oldest first — watch a story-shape move through time from clay tablet to novel.
commentary_search — THE SYMBOLIZE LANE: full-text search restricted to the commentary shelves — early psychology (Jung 1916, Freud), comparative scholarship (Tylor, Harrison, Frazer), and the alchemical corpus.
episode_search — Full-text search across the complete text of EVERY served episode — all works, all traditions, all shelves at once (primary myth, literary, commentary, alchemical; each hit labeled by work_class).
