xby-dream-of-red-chamber-relationship

Dream of the Red Chamber features over four hundred characters whose blood ties, marriages, master-servant bonds, and romantic entanglements form a web that plain prose simply cannot untangle. This plugin models those relationships as nodes and edges in a graph database, so you can ask structured questions such as how many relational layers separate Lin Daiyu from Jia Baoyu, or which distant relatives Xie Baochai is connected to, using a single read-only Cypher query instead of rereading the entire novel or cross-referencing dozens of critical essays.

Three capabilities do the heavy lifting. First, persistent API-key configuration set right in chat and surviving restarts, eliminating repetitive setup. Second, full schema introspection covering every node type, property field, and relationship kind, so you can quickly understand the graph structure. Third, read-only Cypher execution that condenses multi-hop relational reasoning into a single SQL-like statement, convenient and safe because it cannot mutate the data.

It is built for Red Studies researchers, literature students, creative writers, and anyone who wants to re-examine the novel character network through a data lens. The plugin follows the MCP protocol, is served via the Xiao Ben Yang platform, and is open-sourced under the MIT license for free reuse and extension.
