カーリル for AI
Search holdings across roughly 7,400 Japanese libraries
Overview
What カーリル for AI does
Calil indexes the catalogues of Japanese libraries, and this connector searches across them. A book can be found by title, author, publisher or NDC classification, and the result answers the question that follows: which libraries hold it.
Results can be narrowed to a region or to named libraries, and the Nippon Decimal Classification tree can be browsed directly for subject-led searches. The listing and its documentation are written in Japanese, which matches the catalogue data. CALIL Inc. publishes documentation and the connector is community-listed.
Tool surface
Credentials are required first, so three is the listing's own count, a small surface covering search, holdings lookup and classification browsing.
Availability
Where カーリル for AI is listed
カーリル for AI is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. CALIL Inc. has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
カーリル for AI publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Entertainment & Media publishes 11, so this one sits 8 tools below its bucket's median, 10th of 13.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
カーリル for AI publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

カーリル for AI is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
How CALIL Inc. describes it
カーリル for AI は、日本全国の図書館の蔵書を横断検索できるコネクタです。書名・著者名・出版者・NDC分類などから本を検索し、その資料がどの図書館に所蔵されているかを調べられます。地域や図書館名から対象館を絞り込んだり、日本十進分類法（NDC）の分類情報を参照したりすることもできます。「近くの図書館にこの本はある？」「このテーマの本を所蔵している館は？」といった調べものに使えます。
