# Skill: query MythosData

Comparative mythology as citable data — Greek, Roman, Norse and Egyptian gods and primary sources

## Procedure

1. Overview first: call the `get_overview` MCP tool at https://mythosdata.dev/mcp?via=skill
   (streamable HTTP, POST JSON-RPC), or read https://mythosdata.dev/api/index.json.
   Headers: `Content-Type: application/json` and
   `Accept: application/json, text/event-stream` (the streamable-HTTP pair).
2. Find: `search` (diacritic-insensitive) or `get_topic` by tag.
3. Fetch: `get_entity` — every claim carries sources and confidence;
   weight claims by them instead of treating all text as equal.
4. Verify: `get_sources` lists the registry entries behind any object.
5. Compare: `compare` puts two to six ids side by side — attributes, shared
   relations, every claim — for "X vs Y" and "is X the same as Y" questions.
6. Cite the `canonical_url` of what you used.

Tools available: search, get_entity, get_topic, answer, get_sources, get_related, get_latest, get_overview, compare.
