Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| reading_list_booksB | List imported books with progress and annotation counts. |
| reading_list_chunksA | List chunks for a book in reading order. |
| reading_read_chunkC | Read one book chunk and return prevId/nextId. |
| reading_continueA | Continue reading from the next unread chunk. If bookId is omitted, use the most recently read book. |
| reading_search_chunksC | Search book chunks by keyword. |
| reading_import_bookB | Import one EPUB or TXT file from base64 content into the reading library. Use this for files small enough for one MCP request. |
| reading_import_beginB | Start a chunked EPUB/TXT import. Use this when the file is too large for one reading_import_book request. |
| reading_import_partC | Append one base64 file part to an active chunked import. |
| reading_import_finishB | Finish a chunked import and add the uploaded EPUB/TXT to the reading library. |
| reading_import_cancelA | Cancel a chunked import and delete its temporary upload file. |
| reading_delete_bookA | Delete a book from the active library and archive its book folder plus related progress, annotations, submissions, and cards under data/trash. Requires confirm: true. |
| reading_annotate_passageA | Write a Claude margin annotation anchored to a quote in a chunk. Human private notes should be created through the HTTP reader API, not this MCP tool. |
| reading_list_annotationsA | List annotations, optionally filtered by book, chunk, kind, or author. |
| reading_submit_user_notesA | Submit open user notes for Claude review. By default, include each chunk's full text once per session and mark notes submitted so they are not sent again. |

| reading_read_submissionB | Read one human note submission batch including notes and context. |
| reading_reply_to_annotationC | Attach a Claude reply under an existing user or Claude annotation. |
| reading_mark_readC | Mark a chunk as read and update last-read progress. |
| reading_card_inboxC | Show unread collected reading-card prompts, like a small bookmark inbox. |
| reading_card_collectionC | Browse collected reading cards as a paginated collection without opening every image. |
| reading_open_cardA | Open one collected reading card and return it as an image for Claude to view. |
| reading_save_cardC | Render one collected reading card to a local image file and return its absolute path. |
| reading_dismiss_cardB | Dismiss one collected reading card from the card inbox without deleting it. |
| reading_list_cardsC | List collected ritual reading cards/bookmarks for completed sections or shared margin moments. |
| reading_collect_cardC | Collect a small ritual reading card/bookmark so it can be revisited later. |
