What the publisher says

From the Goodreads MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

📚 goodreads-mcp

A read-only MCP server for Goodreads — built without the Goodreads API, because there hasn't been one since December 2020. Lets an LLM find and research books, ratings, and reviews. Tools ride on RSS feeds, the JSON autocomplete endpoint, the NEXTDATA__ blob embedded in book pages, and the AppSync GraphQL backend the Goodreads website itself uses. No login, no cookies, no writes — public data only.

<!-- Ownership token the official MCP registry checks in the PyPI README before it accepts a listing; must match name in server.json. Keep it on its own line. mcp-name: io.github.Danathar/goodreads-mcp-ai -->

tools

Every tool is registered with MCP read-only annotations (read-only, non-destructive, idempotent).

The discovery tools all take a bookid and return results carrying bookid/title/author/rating/url, so an agent can chain them — e.g. similarbooks → getreviews on a recommendation. This is the structured book graph a general web search can't assemble.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
