Arke is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with powerful semantic search capabilities across the Arke Institute's extensive digitized NARA archives and presidential libraries.

How does Arke's semantic search function?

Arke leverages OpenAI embeddings for advanced natural language understanding and Pinecone for rapid vector search. This enables AI assistants to interpret complex queries and retrieve highly relevant results from millions of historical documents and records.

How can Arke be integrated into AI applications?

Arke is designed for easy integration with any MCP client, including Claude Desktop and Cloudflare AI Playground. You simply add Arke's server URL to your client's configuration, exposing the `search_arke` tool for use by AI assistants.
