audible-mcp

audible-mcp is a TypeScript Model Context Protocol server for authenticated Audible read workflows.

It currently exposes signed-auth tools and resources for:

• library listing

• collection item listing

• library search

• in-progress title listing

• single library item lookup

• wishlist listing

• collections listing

• chapter lookup by ASIN

• content metadata by ASIN

• catalog product metadata by ASIN

• aggregate listening stats

• auth validation

• local auth status

Requirements

• Node.js 22+

• an Audible auth bundle created with the login flow in this repo or via the published CLI

Related MCP server: mcp-open-library

Setup

You need an audible-auth.json file before running the MCP server.

If you are working from a local checkout:

npm install
npm run auth:login -- --marketplace us --file .\audible-auth.json

If you are using the published package:

npx audible-mcp auth login --marketplace us --file ./audible-auth.json

The login flow opens Audible/Amazon in your browser, then asks you to paste the final maplanding URL back into the terminal. The resulting audible-auth.json contains live credentials and should not be committed.

If the saved auth expires, refresh the auth bundle without re-registering the device.

Local checkout:

npm run auth:refresh -- --file .\audible-auth.json

Published package:

npx audible-mcp auth refresh --file ./audible-auth.json

Install Via npm

Run the published server directly with npx:

npx -y audible-mcp serve

Run The MCP Server

Start the stdio server directly:

$env:AUDIBLE_AUTH_FILE = ".\audible-auth.json"
npm run mcp:start

After npm publish, the equivalent command is:

AUDIBLE_AUTH_FILE=./audible-auth.json npx audible-mcp serve

Run the end-to-end MCP smoke test:

$env:AUDIBLE_AUTH_FILE = ".\audible-auth.json"
npm run smoke:test

Root Config Files

• mcp.config.json: local MCP client config for this checkout; gitignored

• mcp.config.example.json: committed template you can copy and edit for your machine

The local config uses the server command from this repo and points AUDIBLE_AUTH_FILE at the root auth bundle.

Example MCP Config

Using the published npm package:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "audible": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "audible-mcp", "serve"],
      "env": {
        "AUDIBLE_AUTH_FILE": "/path/to/audible-auth.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using a local checkout:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "audible": {
      "command": "npm",
      "args": ["run", "mcp:start"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/audible-mcp",
      "env": {
        "AUDIBLE_AUTH_FILE": "/path/to/audible-mcp/audible-auth.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

The committed template in mcp.config.example.json uses the published package.

Notes

• Signed auth is the working API path in this repo.

• audible-auth.json contains private credentials and should be treated as a secret.

• The main CLI supports serve, auth login, and auth refresh.

• CI runs npm run check on pushes to master and on pull requests.

Security

• Do not commit audible-auth.json.

• If the auth bundle is ever exposed, revoke or replace it by generating a new device registration.

• mcp.config.json is local-only and should stay uncommitted.
