### Description (declared)

# humor-mcp 
 
**An MCP server over a local humor corpus. Every line it returns says who wrote it.**

Point a model at a body of jokes and it will happily launder them: you get the 
material back with no idea whose it was, whether you may publish it, or whether 
you may sell it. This server treats that as the primary problem. Every result 
carries the credit for the line it came from, material that may not be 
redistributed is withheld unless you ask for it by name, and the exporter 
refuses to hand out anything whose licence does not permit it. 
 
No database server, no network, no required dependencies — Python stdlib and one 
SQLite file. It runs the same whether or not the machine that built the corpus is 
awake. 
 
(That holds for the server and every text path. Audio ingest is the one 
exception: it needs `numpy`, `scipy` and `soundfile`, and is only imported when 
you actually use it.)
