Quotewise

quotewise/mcp

Connects to Quotewise's 600K quote database with semantic search that understands meaning, not just keywords. You get 18 tools covering discovery (quotes_about, who_said, quotes_like), attribution verification to catch misquotes, and collection management for organizing finds. Every quote includes QuoteSightings citations showing actual sources. Filter by length, structure, language, reading level, even content rating. Works anonymously with 20 requests per day or authenticated for higher limits. Useful when you need a verified quote for documentation, want to check if that Einstein quote is real, or need thematically relevant quotes without keyword fishing.
