Pythia The Oracle

What is PYTHIA Oracle?

PYTHIA is an MCP server for AI agents that need to think past obvious answers. Feed it the question your architecture won't let you see past, and it returns something you can't quite explain but can't stop using.

How to use PYTHIA Oracle?

Add the server URL to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pythia": {
      "url": "https://pythia-mcp.fly.dev/"
    }
  }
}

Or install via Smithery: npx -y @smithery/cli@latest run dexigo/pythia

Then call the consult_oracle tool with your question.
