mcp-books

An MCP server that searches across the Internet Archive and Library of Congress at once, merging results while keeping each archive's differences. Provides tools to search inside texts, search catalogues, and retrieve item records, all read-only and without an API key.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

3/3 tools missing one or more hints — search_inside (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_items (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_item (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
