"Gutenberg" matching MCP tools:

• gutenberg_get_text

  gutenberg-mcp-server

  Retrieve the plain-text content of a Project Gutenberg book, stripped of the standard license header and footer so the response contains only the literary work. For long works — novels routinely run 500KB–2MB — use offset and limit to read in chunks rather than fetching the whole book at once. The response reports totalChars and remainingChars so the caller can page through without guessing. Prefers UTF-8 plain text; falls back to an HTML edition converted to text; refuses audio books (media_type "Sound") with a clear error.

• gutenberg_search_books

  gutenberg-mcp-server

  Search the Project Gutenberg catalog of 78,000+ public-domain books. Matches title and author name with query words; filters by topic (subject or bookshelf keyword), language, author lifespan, or a specific list of Gutenberg IDs. Results are ordered by popularity (download count) by default. Returns book ID, title, authors, languages, subjects, and download count — use gutenberg_get_book for the full formats map before fetching text.

  Connector

• gutenberg_browse_popular

  gutenberg-mcp-server

  Browse the most-downloaded Project Gutenberg books, ordered by popularity. Returns up to 32 titles with their Gutenberg IDs, authors, languages, and download counts. Optionally filter by language or topic. Use this as a discovery entry point — "what are the most popular classics in French?" — or as a heartbeat check that the catalog is reachable.

• gutenberg_get_book

  gutenberg-mcp-server

  Fetch complete metadata for a Project Gutenberg book by ID — title, authors (with birth/death years), translators, editors, subjects, bookshelves, languages, copyright status, and the full formats map with download URLs for each available format (plain text, HTML, EPUB, cover image, etc.). Use this before gutenberg_get_text to confirm a plain-text format is available and to get the direct download URL.

  Connector

• book_search

  LiveDataLink

  Search the full Project Gutenberg catalog (~78,500 public-domain books) live via Gutendex by title / author / subject keyword, with optional author, subject, and language filters. Ranked by keyword relevance then download popularity. Returns each book's Gutenberg id, title, author(s), language, and download count. Use book_fulltext_search to search inside the locally indexed top books.

  Connector

• book_details

  LiveDataLink

  Get full catalog metadata for a single book by its Project Gutenberg id (title, authors, subjects, languages, copyright, download count, and whether its full text is indexed here).

  Connector

• book_get_text

  LiveDataLink

  Return the full text of an indexed book by Gutenberg id, paginated by passage. Use from_seq + max_passages to page through it. For books in the catalog that are NOT indexed locally, returns the public gutenberg.org plain-text URL so the agent can fetch it directly.
