@h4sht/bookstack-mcp

🚀 Claude Code

claude mcp add bookstack -- npx github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp

Claude Code will prompt you for:

  • BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL — your BookStack API URL (e.g. https://wiki.example.com/api)

  • BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN — your API token (token_id:token_secret)

Or pass them directly:

claude mcp add bookstack \
  --env BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL=https://wiki.example.com/api \
  --env BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN=token_id:token_secret \
  -- npx github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp

Then use /mcp inside Claude Code to verify it's connected ✔

✍️ Markdown-powered

BookStack stores pages as HTML but accepts Markdown input through its API. This means Claude can create and edit wiki pages in its native format:

"Create a page about async Python in book 3"

→ bookstack_create_page({
    book_id: 3,
    name: "Async Python Guide",
    markdown: "# Async Python\n\n`asyncio` is Python's standard library..."
  })

Pages are also exported as Markdown, so Claude can read, analyze, and improve existing content.

OpenAI Codex

codex mcp add bookstack \
  --env BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL=https://wiki.example.com/api \
  --env BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN=id:secret \
  -- npx github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp

Or add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.bookstack]
command = "npx"
args = ["github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.bookstack.env]
BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL = "https://wiki.example.com/api"
BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN = "id:secret"

Verify with: codex mcp list

OpenCode

opencode mcp add
# Select "local", then enter: npx github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp

Or add to opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "bookstack": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp"],
      "enabled": true,
      "environment": {
        "BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL": "https://wiki.example.com/api",
        "BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN": "id:secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code)

Add to Cline MCP settings file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bookstack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["github:h4sht/bookstack-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL": "https://wiki.example.com/api",
        "BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN": "id:secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

🔒 Security

  • 4 auditable files — read the whole source in 10 minutes

  • One dependency — only @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (official Anthropic)

  • Native fetch() — no HTTP libraries, no hidden requests

  • Stdio only — no open ports, no network surface

  • Zero telemetry — no analytics, no tracking, no calls home

  • Stderr logging — never writes to stdout (MCP protocol integrity)

npm test   # 32 tests, all passing ✅
