# magnifica-humanitas-mcp
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.grinnellian/magnifica-humanitas-mcp -->
An MCP server for navigating *[Magnifica Humanitas](https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html)* — Pope Leo XIV's 2026 encyclical on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.
