Edgepedia MCP server

Edgepedia MCP server

The official MCP server for Edgepedia, a free encyclopedia by EdgeChat: more than 400,000 articles with citations, and constantly growing. It lets an AI assistant search Edgepedia and read whole articles.

Address: https://www.edgechat.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP). No key, no sign-up, read-only.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.edgechat/edgepedia.

Corpus 1.8

The current release is Edgepedia 1.8.0 (October 21, 2026), which adds 68,240 new articles on life and health, places, and sports, rewrites 67,775 more, reorganizes the topic tree, and fixes errors across the corpus; Edgepedia now holds 486,198 articles.

Earlier releases: Edgepedia updates.

Inspect the API root for current corpusversion, corpusupdated, and release_notes metadata. The MCP initialization instructions include the same metadata. Corpus releases and MCP package versions are independent: corpus 1.8 does not mean MCP package version 1.8.
