Hooks directly into Apple Books' SQLite container to expose your library, highlights, and reading state. You get 30+ tools spanning collections, annotations, genre searches, and reading status filters, plus context extraction that shows the paragraph around any highlight. The standout is the "currently reading" resource: Claude sees your active book, the exact chapter you left off on (including its text for non-DRM EPUBs), and recent highlights in one attachment. Prompts like weekly digest and library snapshot turn annotations into summaries. Needs macOS permission to read `~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX/` on first run. Reach for this when you want Claude to reflect on your reading or pull exact quotes with surrounding context.
