Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote, read-only MCP server that helps an assistant find books similar to one you liked, look up a book's details and screen adaptations, and list an author’

What you can do
Look up a book's details, length and any film or series made from it, with tolerance for misspelled titles.
When to use it
Use it when a reader wants recommendations based on a book they enjoyed, a genre suggestion, quick facts about a title or its adaptation, or a list of an author's works.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no sign-in, API key, environment variable or header is declared.
Before you install
All tools are described as read-only and nothing about the user is stored, but requests go to a third-party service. If a book lookup reports that the film and TV check could not run, adaptation information may be missing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Books Like This 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/io.github.GoodTurnStudio%2Fbookslikethis/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Remote MCP servers for 25 free, read-only everyday helpers by Good Turn Studio: money, health, jobs, travel, shopping, halal checks, football and scripture reading. One Cloudflare Worker turns each product's public OpenAPI spec into an MCP server, so any assistant that speaks MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, Alexa+, Cursor, VS Code and others) can use them.

  • All products in one: https://goodturn-mcp.pages.dev/all/mcp (tool names start with the product slug)
  • Streamable HTTP, stateless JSON, MCP 2025-11-25 (and 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26), no sign-in

How it works

  • build.py reads each product's live openapi.json and writes products.js: one tool per GET operation, named from its operationId, with inputs from its parameters. Descriptions are tidied into plain tool descriptions.
  • worker.mjs is the MCP server: initialize, tools/list and tools/call, which calls the product's own API and returns its answer. Answers with a say field carry a ready-made summary.
  • servers.json lists every server for the official MCP Registry (as io.github.GoodTurnStudio/<slug>). The Publish to the MCP Registry workflow logs in with GitHub OIDC and runs publish.py; publish.ps1 does the same from Windows.

Build and test

npm installnpm run build          # python3 build.py, then bundle to deploy/_worker.jsnpm test               # every product through the worker, against the live APIsnpm run test:live      # every tool through the deployed servers with the MCP SDK client

Deploy deploy/ as a Cloudflare Pages project in advanced mode (_worker.js).

Licence

MIT for this code. Each product's API, data and answers belong to that product and are served under its own terms, linked from its page at https://goodturn-mcp.pages.dev/<slug>.

get_book

A book's details and any film or series made from it

A book's details and any film or series made from it. For requests like "tell me about Project Hail Mary", "is The Name of the Wind being made into a film?", "how long is Dune?". Misspellings are fine. If screen_checked is false, the film and TV check could not run just now, so the film and TV status is unknown.

Parameterstitlerequiredauthorcountry

find_similar_books

Books like one the user enjoyed, or for a genre

Books like one the user enjoyed, or for a genre. For requests like "books like The Martian" or "a good cosy mystery". Suggestions are English-language books for the same readers (picture book, children, young adult or adult), one per author and one per series. Well-read books of the same kind come first (picked_from: shelf, and because names the kind, for example "celebrated dystopian novels"), then books sharing specific subjects on Open Library (picked_from: subjects, and because lists the shared subjects). Novels never get self-help, textbooks, anthologies, study guides, category romance lines or explicit books as suggestions, and popular books are preferred over obscure ones. Other books by the same author are left out unless same_author=true. Give title or subject; common other titles work (1984, The Sorcerer's Stone)

100% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
