Connects Claude to Project Gutenberg's public domain catalog through a self-hosted mirror. Exposes five tools: search books by title or author, fetch metadata, download full text, list fixed-size passages, and retrieve specific passages. You'll need to run the included mirror server locally since Project Gutenberg blocks automated access to their main site. Useful for literary analysis, quote extraction, or building applications that reference classic texts. Configure it with a book ID to default to a specific work, or enable search to let Claude discover titles on the fly. Ships with Docker Compose setup that runs both mirror and MCP server together.
