`search_quotes`

Pack: quotes · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/quotes/mcp

Search quotes by substring. Matches both canonical text and known popular paraphrases — searching for ‘protest’ finds Hamlet’s ‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks’ even though the popular form ‘Methinks the lady doth protest too much’ is what most people remember.

`author_id`	string	no	Optional author filter.
