Описание

An MCP server that speaks the Gopher protocol, enabling AI to browse gopherspace, read text files, and search via Veronica-2.

README

An MCP server that speaks the Gopher protocol, the pre HTTP internet, still running since 1991.

Gopher is a text menu protocol: you open a menu, it lists typed items (directories, text files, search services), and you navigate deeper. This server is a raw TCP Gopher client (port 70), no HTTP, no scraping.

Why it's original

Nobody else has a Gopher client as an MCP tool. The AI can now surf gopherspace, Floodgap, SDF, Veronica search, and read documents that predate the web.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`open_menu`	Open a gopher menu and list its items (dirs, text, search, binaries)
`read_textfile`	Read a plain text file (gopher type 0)
`search_veronica`	Run a Veronica-2 search across gopherspace

Usage

npm run build && node dist/index.js

Example flow:

open_menu { host: "gopher.floodgap.com", selector: "/" }
search_veronica { host: "gopher.floodgap.com", query: "retro games" }
read_textfile { host: "gopher.floodgap.com", selector: "/0/floodgap/new" }

Default host is gopher.floodgap.com (Floodgap Systems, serving gopher since 1999, blocklist updated April 2026, ~81,000 Veronica matches indexed). All keyless, no auth.
