Books Like This tools (3)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsfind_similar_booksFreeBooks like one the user enjoyed, or for a genre. For requests like "books like The Martian" or "a good cosy mystery". Suggestions are English-language books for the same readers (picture book, children, young adult or adult), one per author and one per series. Well-read books of the same kind come first (picked_from: shelf, and because names the kind, for example "celebrated dystopian novels"), then books sharing specific subjects on Open Library (picked_from: subjects, and because lists the shared subjects). Novels never get self-help, textbooks, anthologies, study guides, category romance lines or explicit books as suggestions, and popular books are preferred over obscure ones. Other books by the same author are left out unless same_author=true. Give title or subject; common other titles work (1984, The Sorcerer's Stone)
get_author_booksFreeAn author's books, newest first. For requests like "what has Andy Weir written?" or "Sally Rooney's books"
get_bookFreeA book's details and any film or series made from it. For requests like "tell me about Project Hail Mary", "is The Name of the Wind being made into a film?", "how long is Dune?". Misspellings are fine. If screen_checked is false, the film and TV check could not run just now, so the film and TV status is unknown.

goodturn-mcp
Remote MCP servers for 25 free, read-only everyday helpers by Good Turn Studio: money, health, jobs, travel, shopping, halal checks, football and scripture reading. One Cloudflare Worker turns each product's public OpenAPI spec into an MCP server, so any assistant that speaks MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, Alexa+, Cursor, VS Code and others) can use them.
- One server per product: https://goodturn-mcp.pages.dev//mcp
- All products in one: https://goodturn-mcp.pages.dev/all/mcp (tool names start with the product slug)
- Streamable HTTP, stateless JSON, MCP 2025-11-25 (and 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26), no sign-in
- Every tool is read-only, with a title and annotations (readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true)
- Nothing about the user is stored. Privacy: https://goodturn-mcp.pages.dev/privacy
Products
How it works
- build.py reads each product's live openapi.json and writes products.js: one tool per GET operation, named from its operationId, with inputs from its parameters. Descriptions are tidied into plain tool descriptions.
- worker.mjs is the MCP server: initialize, tools/list and tools/call, which calls the product's own API and returns its answer. Answers with a say field carry a ready-made summary.
- servers.json lists every server for the official MCP Registry (as io.github.GoodTurnStudio/). The Publish to the MCP Registry workflow logs in with GitHub OIDC and runs publish.py; publish.ps1 does the same from Windows.
