Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant search Google Books and Open Library for book metadata, covers and publication details.

What you can do
  • Search Google Books and Open Library for books by title, author or other criteria.
  • Retrieve book metadata such as covers and publication information from both sources.
  • No individual tools are documented in the supplied listing, so exact operations are not specified.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to look up book details, verify publication data, or find cover images while working on reading lists, catalogs or library-related tasks.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine, installed from the PyPI package book-metadata-mcp over stdio. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to Google Books and Open Library is implied by its purpose.
Before you install
Queries are sent to the third-party Google Books and Open Library services, so search terms leave the local machine. No credentials, write actions or payments are indicated in the supplied information.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Book Metadata 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.
