SAKH — Ayatollah Khamenei Research Corpus (MCP Server)
A remote Model Context Protocol server that gives researchers direct access to the corpus of Sayyid Ali Khamenei — juridical rulings, lectures and intellectual writings in Arabic and Persian — through seven read-only tools.
This repository hosts the public listing and documentation for the SAKH MCP server. The server itself is hosted and operated by SADIQOON TECHNOLOGIES LTD; this repo does not contain its source.

What it does
Retrieval is hybrid: dense multilingual embeddings combined with sparse keyword matching, fused by reciprocal rank and then re-ranked, so a question phrased in ordinary language reaches the right passage even when the wording differs from the source.
Alongside the text corpus sits a knowledge graph of roughly 145,000 concepts joined by evidence-bearing relations (grounded-in, opposes, critiques, derives-from), which lets a researcher trace the structure of an argument rather than only collect quotations.
Every answer carries its source — book, page and chapter — and the system reports its own match confidence rather than presenting weak results as strong. It never composes a ruling that is not in the corpus.
Tools
All seven are read-only; none is destructive.
