  • Read-only by default; scan and cleanup tools require ABSREADONLY=false.
  • Ships as a local stdio MCP server from a single Go binary or Docker image,

bundles.

  • Supports env vars, Docker-style env files, extra headers, and custom TLS CA

fixture tests.

  • Includes source-backed Audiobookshelf API inventory resources and repeatable

Registry metadata.

  • Publishes release binaries and a GHCR image suitable for official MCP

Audiobook Organizer Compatibility

I built this MCP server to work especially well alongside jeeftor/audiobook-organizer. While it exposes the normal Audiobookshelf MCP tools for inspecting libraries, items, metadata, and server state, one of its most useful workflows is auditing whether books are actually organized the way you expect on disk.

The absfindmisorganized_items tool checks Audiobookshelf item paths against supported folder layout conventions, including author/title and author/series/title structures. It is audit-only, so it reports likely misconfigured or misplaced books without moving or deleting files. That makes it a good companion to Audiobook Organizer: use this MCP server to identify layout problems from Audiobookshelf's perspective, then use Audiobook Organizer to clean up or standardize the underlying files.
