What io.github.cameronrye/openzim-mcp does
✨ Highlights. A lean 8-tool advanced surface (zim_query, zim_search, zim_get, zim_get_section, zim_browse, zim_metadata, zim_links, zim_health) with a schema small enough for small-model dispatch — or one-tool Simple mode for natural-language queries. Archive-type presets auto-tune retrieval per source (Wikipedia, Stack Exchange, …), inbound link discovery answers "what links here," and native libzim introspection validates and inspects any archive. Available on Smithery and the official MCP R
