Gutenberg Mcp Server

Connects Claude to Project Gutenberg's 75,000+ public domain books through a clean four-tool interface: search by title, author, topic, or language; fetch full metadata including format maps and contributor details; retrieve plain text with offset/limit chunking for context management; and browse by popularity. Built on the Gutendex JSON API with direct plain-text retrieval from Gutenberg's file servers. No API key required. The chunking support is the standout feature here since classic novels routinely hit 500KB to 2MB and you need to read them in manageable pieces. Each response includes provenance data and precise pagination fields so you can walk through long works reliably. Strips license boilerplate automatically and falls back through UTF-8, ASCII, then HTML conversion as needed.
