Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search books and authors in the Open Library catalog from the Internet Archive.

What you can do
This remote MCP server exposes a book search capability backed by Open Library, the Internet Archive's open catalog. Based on the description, an assistant can look up books and authors through that catalog. No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact operations are not documented here.
When to use it
Worth adding when an assistant needs to find books or author information from a public library catalog, for example to answer bibliographic questions or locate titles.
Requirements
Runs as a remote endpoint at invokera.com over streamable HTTP; no packages, environment variables, headers, or authentication are declared, so nothing needs to be installed locally.
Before you install
The manifest declares no authentication and no credentials, so no secrets are requested. Search queries are sent to a third-party remote service, and results come from an external catalog that may be incomplete or inaccurate.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Book Search (Open Library) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.invokera%2Fbook-search/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
