Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search Google Books and retrieve volume details such as covers, page counts, and categories.

What it does
This server exposes Google Books lookups to an assistant. Based on its description, it supports volume search and fetching details for individual volumes, including cover images, page counts, and categories. It runs locally over stdio and declares no tools in the manifest, so the exact tool names are not documented here.
When to use it
Worth adding when an assistant needs book metadata, such as finding titles by keyword or pulling cover, page, and category details for a known volume. It is a narrow lookup tool, not a general web search or library manager.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine via the npm package google-books-mcp over stdio. Desktop only; no web executable. The manifest declares no authentication, environment variables, or headers, so no credentials appear to be needed, though network access to Google Books is implied.
Before you install
The manifest declares no credentials, secrets, or write actions, and the description mentions only read-style lookups. Queries are sent to Google Books, a third-party service, so search terms leave the machine. Tool behavior is not documented in the manifest, so verify what each tool returns before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Google Books Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.

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