Tools

10 tools listed at last check
  • search_monologues Search Shakespeare monologues by free text (matches character, play, or first line) plus optional filters. Returns matches, each with a permalink `url`.
  • get_monologue Fetch one monologue's catalogue entry by its numeric id. Follow the returned `url` for the full text.
  • random_monologue Return one random monologue, with optional gender/play filters. Useful for a suggestion when the user is undecided.
  • list_plays List Shakespeare's plays with their classification (Comedy/History/Tragedy) and monologue counts.
  • list_all_monologues_for_a_character List every monologue spoken by a given character (e.g. 'Hamlet', 'Rosalind'). Matches the character name exactly first, then as a substring.
  • get_monologue_of_the_day The current 'Monologue of the Day' — the piece most recently posted to the site's social feeds.
  • get_paraphrased_monologue Fetch a monologue's full text alongside its modern-English, line-by-line paraphrase. The paraphrase is AI-generated (Claude) and may be null if it hasn't been generated yet — the `url` always has the monologue itself.
  • get_scene_summary Fetch an AI-generated summary of the scene a monologue appears in (context for the speech). May be null if not generated yet.
  • get_play_summary Fetch an AI-generated summary of a play (e.g. 'Hamlet', 'The Tempest'). May be null if not generated yet.
  • send_feedback Send feedback about this Shakespeare monologues server: a monologue, play or capability you needed that its tools could not provide, a problem with a result, or praise. Only for feedback about these tools, not about other tasks. Do not include personal information about the user.
