README

Open Archives MCP Server

OpenAPI source used to generate tools:

../api/openapi.yaml   (local)
https://api.openarchieven.nl/openapi.yaml   (remote)

Overview

A schema-aware server that automatically converts the OpenAPI specification into callable tools and exposes them through multiple transports:

MCP Remote (JSON-RPC over StreamableHTTP)
HTTP JSON API
SSE streaming with auto-pagination
Chunked HTTP streaming with auto-pagination
Redis caching (optional)
Health checks

Use with Claude

Add as a custom connector

A hosted endpoint is available — no installation required.

In claude.ai or Claude Desktop:

Open Settings → Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Enter the URL: https://mcp.openarchieven.nl/
Save and approve when prompted.

No authentication is required — Open Archives is a public dataset.

Example queries

Once the connector is added you can ask Claude, for example:

"Who are the ancestors of Johannes Gregorius Marinus Coret? Give me an overview, including source citations in markdown format with the links to the original archives if possible, otherwise provide the Open Archieven links and provide a tree in SVG."
"Did Johannes Coret and Antonia Uphus have descendants? Give me an overview, including source citations in markdown format with the links to the original archives if possible, otherwise provide the Open Archieven links, include thumbnails from scans from archival sources if available and provide a tree in SVG."
"Provide me with a list of sourcetypes per archive(name) where I can find information about the Coret family. Show the result in a markdown document including links to the search pages on Open Archieven. Instead of the archive code use the ISIL if available."
"What was the weather in Amsterdam on 1953-02-01?"
"What does the 1850 census say about Utrecht?"

Claude will call the matching tool (search_records, show_record, get_marriages, get_historical_weather, get_census_data, …) and return links to the corresponding record pages on https://www.openarchieven.nl.

Self-hosted (stdio)

If you prefer running the server locally as a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @coret/openarchieven-mcp-server
