About reeeeemo/ancestry-mcp
Ancestry MCP Server is a Python-based implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with .ged (GEDCOM) files, commonly used for genealogy data on Ancestry.com. It allows reading, parsing, renaming, and searching within GEDCOM files, including retrieval of specific information such as dates of birth, marriages, and family relationships. The server is designed to integrate with Claude Desktop and operates within a specified directory for security. Note: This repository has been archived and is read-only as of January 2026.
