@wyrdsekai/researchzosho-mcp

Starts ResearchZosho, the research librarian for the rest of us, as an MCP server over stdio. Any MCP client that can run npx can run it:

{ "mcpServers": { "librarian": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@wyrdsekai/researchzosho-mcp"] } } }

claude mcp add --scope user librarian -- npx -y @wyrdsekai/researchzosho-mcp

There is no Java in this package and no copy of the program. The launcher finds an installed ResearchZosho and starts researchzosho mcp. When none is installed it fetches the release of the same version from GitHub, checks it against the release's own SHA256SUMS (no sums, no install), unpacks it under ~/.researchzosho/launcher, and starts it: the small tarball when Java 21 or newer is on the machine, otherwise the build for this platform that carries its own runtime, so nothing has to be installed first. A machine with no library gets one made at ~/researchzosho-library; researchzosho setup names a model server and installs the service, and the pages at http://127.0.0.1:4649/ come with it.

Nothing but the MCP stream is written to stdout. Every message from the launcher goes to stderr.

variable	meaning
RESEARCHZOSHO_PREFIX	where the one-line installer put the program (default ~/.local, or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs)
