Gutenberg Mcp Server

Overview

Gutenberg Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to Project Gutenberg's collection of over 75,000 public-domain ebooks. Any MCP-compatible AI can call its tools to retrieve full plain-text content, letting models decide when to search and read literature during conversations or agent runs.

You can use Gutenberg Mcp Server two ways: connect to the hosted endpoint at https://gutenberg.caseyjhand.com/mcp without any local setup, or install it locally via npx -y @cyanheads/gutenberg-mcp-server. No authentication is required. The latest release is v0.1.8 under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code available at cyanheads/gutenberg-mcp-server on GitHub.

Gutenberg Mcp Server is categorized under AI & Agents on mcp.site and works with all MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and others. Maintainers of cyanheads/gutenberg-mcp-server can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
