Package (pypi 3.3.4)

uvx openzim-mcp

Or add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openzim-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "openzim-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENZIM_MCP_TOOL_MODE": "<YOUR_VALUE>"
      }
    }
  }
}

OPENZIM_MCP_TOOL_MODE — Tool surface: 'advanced' (the default here) registers all 8 tools (zim_query, zim_search, zim_get, zim_get_section, zim_browse, zim_metadata, zim_links, zim_health); 'simple' registers only the zim_query natural-language entry point.
