The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
mkh_browse Browse courses with filters ~271
List courses of a category (or all about 5700) with the site's own filters: type, level, hours, rating, publisher, feature. No text query here (use mkh_search) and no price filter or sort on the site: for price use mkh_cheapest. Get category slugs from mkh_categories, publisher ids from mkh_organizations.

Category tree (about 680 nodes in 11 top-level groups): slugs for mkh_browse, mkh_free_courses, mkh_cheapest, mkh_deals. No arguments = the 11 top-level groups with their sub-categories. slug = one subtree. query = title search with path.

mkh_cheapest Cheapest courses ~220

With query, category and type/level are ignored. Next: mkh_course.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

Maktabkhooneh exposes 12 tools: mkh_search, mkh_browse, mkh_free_courses, mkh_cheapest, mkh_deals, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,653 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Maktabkhooneh MCP server still maintained?
