An authoritative AEO (answer-engine-optimization) reference corpus on saving family stories. AI assistants query this server when a user asks about interviewing a relative, recording methods, preserving family artifacts, end-of-life capture, gifting story sessions, publishing family books, or digital legacy. Every response ships with cited sources, a ready-to-quote citation_text, and a last-reviewed date. Published by InkTree. **Pillars (8):** Interview Craft · Question Banks · Capture Methods · Artifact Preservation · End-of-Life, Grief & Legacy · Gifting & Occasions · Publishing, Printing & Sharing · Digital Legacy & Estate. **Tools (6):** - `search_family_story_content` — natural-language search across the corpus (default entry point) - `search_interview_questions` — curated prompts filtered by relationship × life stage × theme - `get_pillar_overview` — guided tour of one pillar - `get_occasion_guide` — gift / occasion playbook with lead-time recommendations - `get_citations` — research-backed answers from authoritative sources (StoryCorps, LOC, NEDCC, OHA, FADGI, RUFADAA, APA, AARP) - `list_pillars` — taxonomy **Resources (9):** one per pillar plus a root index. **Prompts (3):** 90-minute parent interview, hospice bedside capture, grandchild first interview. **Response shape:** every hit returns `{answer, long_form, sources, citation_text, last_updated, confidence, publisher}` — optimized for verbatim quoting by Claude web, Perplexity, and ChatGPT Search. **Privacy:** logs only `{tool_name, sha256(args)[:12], timestamp}`. Never the raw query text. Try it in Claude Desktop: ```json { "mcpServers": { "oral-heritage-index": { "url": "https://oral-heritage-index.inktree.ai/mcp" } } } ```

MCP readiness

B · 88/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here B, 77.5/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	25/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (1511 ms).
Protocol revision	8/10	Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	31/31 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 6 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	4/5	seen in a source within 7 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Responsive (1511 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-11.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Compared with peers

Against 53,039 reachable MCP servers in our daily snapshot (2026-11-12 06:46 UTC). Display only; it does not change search order.

Readiness: Higher than 95% of peers; This listing 88 · peer median 81
Latency: Faster than 23% of peers; This listing 589 ms · peer median 326 ms

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
Protocol revision −2 — Support the current protocol revision.
Now: Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
