Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 6 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Finding the right quote shouldn't require jumping between five tabs.

Right now, if you need a specific kind of content—say, quotes about failure in tech—you have to open Google, navigate to a random quote site, sift through thousands of results, and hope the author profile has the bio you need. It's slow, manual copy/paste work that kills momentum.

With this MCP server, your agent handles it all. You tell it: 'Give me quotes about failure tagged with technology.' The system runs `search_quotes` and instantly provides a list of verified quotes, their tags, and the author details—all in one clean response.

Quotable API MCP Server: Get Author Data from Your Agent

Manually researching an author means finding a quote, then Googling that author's name, clicking through Wikipedia, and copying the relevant bio section. This process takes minutes just to verify one data point.

The Quotable API streamlines this into one call: `get_author_details`. You provide the slug, and your agent gets the full biography structure immediately. It’s instant verification for cross-functional teams.

What your AI can actually do with this

This server hooks your agent directly into a massive library of quotes, author bios, and thematic tags. You'll use it to pull verified data points without ever leaving your workflow or touching an external website.

Need inspiration? Your agent can find any quote matching specific words or whole phrases by running search_quotes. Or maybe you just want a wild card—call get_random_quote for a single, random line from the entire database. If you decide you need to filter that random pick, get_random_quote lets you optionally narrow it down using a specific tag or author name.

Want to know what themes are available? Use list_quote_tags; it shows every unique quote tag and tells you exactly how many quotes use each one. Before you dive into authors, run list_quote_authors. This pulls a full directory of every writer in the database along with their descriptions.

When you find an author you like, you can dig deeper. Pass that author's unique slug to get_author_details, and it returns their complete profile—you'll get all the details and the full bio they wrote.

It’s simple: if you need to know what’s going on with the connection, run check_api_status to confirm that the Quotable API is actually running and ready for calls. You've got direct access to everything here.

Questions you might have

How do I find quotes about 'leadership' using search_quotes? +

You simply ask your agent to run search_quotes with the keyword 'leadership'. It returns all relevant quotes and metadata found in the database for that phrase.

Do I need an API key for get_random_quote? +

No, you don't. The Quotable service is free and open, so your agent can run get_random_quote immediately without needing credentials.

What if I only know the author's name, not their slug? +

You should first use list_quote_authors. This tool provides a list of all authors and helps you find the exact unique identifier (the slug) needed for get_author_details.

Can I see which tags are available with list_quote_tags? +

Yes, running list_quote_tags shows every tag in the catalog and tells you exactly how many quotes belong to each theme. It's great for planning content.

How do I verify if the Quotable API is currently working using `check_api_status`? +

Calling check_api_status immediately confirms the service's operational health. This lets your agent validate connectivity before running any complex searches or fetching data, preventing unnecessary failures.

How do I get a complete list of all authors and their descriptions using `list_quote_authors`? +

The list_quote_authors tool returns a comprehensive catalog of every author available. You can use this to build an internal directory or verify the source material before querying specific quotes.

Can I combine multiple topics when searching with the `search_quotes` tool? +

Yes, you pass a phrase or list of related keywords directly into search_quotes. This allows your agent to find quotes that bridge multiple themes simultaneously without separate searches.

What specific metadata do I receive when calling `get_author_details`? +

The tool provides the full biography and description associated with an author slug. You get the source material needed to fully contextualize any quote data you retrieve for your content.

Is an API Key required for Quotable API? +

No. Quotable.io is a free and open service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.

Can I filter quotes by author? +

Yes. Use the get_random_quote tool and provide the author parameter (name or slug). Your agent will return matching quotes instantly.

What biographical data is provided for authors? +

The get_author_details tool provides the author's full name, a brief description, and a complete biography from the database.
