Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant search Open Library for books, authors and editions, and list trending titles, with no API key.

What you can do
  • Search Open Library for books, authors and editions
  • Fetch details for a specific book, edition or author
  • List an author's works
  • Show trending titles
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up book metadata, check editions or an author's bibliography, or find trending titles while researching or recommending reading. It is a small, single-purpose connector, so it is worth adding only if Open Library lookups are part of your workflow.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio via npx, so Node.js and network access to Open Library are needed. No API key, environment variables or headers are declared. The README's install snippet pulls a package archive from a GitHub release URL rather than the npm registry.
Before you install
The README's install command fetches a tarball from a GitHub release and runs it with npx, so you are trusting that release artifact; the manifest instead lists an npm package name, so confirm which source you are installing. The README also advertises a separate bundle of 180+ tools and persistent agent memory, which is not part of this connector. Queries are sent to Open Library.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Open Library MCP by UnClick in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
