## Tools

9 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.

- `get_monologue` — Fetch one monologue's catalogue entry by its numeric id. Follow the returned `url` for the full text.
- `random_monologue` — Return one random monologue, with optional gender/play filters. Useful for a suggestion when the user is undecided.

- `list_all_monologues_for_a_character` — List every monologue spoken by a given character (e.g. 'Hamlet', 'Rosalind'). Matches the character name exactly first, then as a substring.

## Install

**Verdict: review** — Installable, but 1 thing to check first: No publisher has proved control of this listing; it is indexed, not vouched for.
**Cautions** (coverage gaps and advisories — never blocking)
- No publisher has proved control of this listing; it is indexed, not vouched for.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"shakespeare-monologues\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"shakespeare-monologues-mcp\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Contained to extensive — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: runs locally and hosted; read-only tool surface.
- Floor 17, ceiling 35 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
