What io.github.smeet666/mcp-books does

One question, several archives. An MCP server that asks every archive it reads at the same time, inside the scanned text and across the catalogues, and merges what comes back without flattening what makes the two answers different.

README

mcp-books

Today it reads three: the Internet Archive, holding the machine-read text of digitised books, periodicals and documents; the Library of Congress, holding the text of American newspaper pages and one catalogue per kind of material; and data.bnf.fr, the open catalogue of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, which describes works as entities and holds no text of its own.

No API key. No account. Read-only.

What it does

These archives answer different questions with the same gesture. One reads the text inside digitised books; another reads the text printed on newspaper pages; another describes works a national library has catalogued, and carries no text at all. Searching for a phrase asks where that phrase was ever printed, in books and in the press at once, and the archive that holds no text is named as absent from that question rather than quietly left out.

The merge is therefore additive. It is what each archive holds, put together. Nothing is set side by side, because archives holding different things have nothing to compare.

This server:

searches the machine-read text of every archive at once and returns one list of matches, each naming the archive it came from;
searches every catalogue at once, each in that archive's own vocabulary;
reads one record, routed by the archive its identifier names.

What makes the answers usable

Merging two archives is easy if you are willing to lose what tells them apart. This one keeps every difference visible:

The difference	What a flattened answer would do	What happens here
One index holds a page number, the other holds none	Invent a page, or drop a true one	`page_number` is a real leaf on one archive and `null` on the other, and the answer says which
One returns the matched passage, the other the opening of the page	Present both under one field name	`excerpt_kind` travels with every match, th
