BookMCP
Give coding agents the book knowledge to design and build better systems.
BookMCP connects your system design and engineering books to Codex, Claude Code, and other stdio MCP clients. Ingest text-based PDFs once. Your agent can retrieve relevant principles, compare architecture trade-offs, and turn a chosen design into implementation guidance grounded in passages it can cite. Save useful design lessons with their sources for future sessions.
Use it when designing a service, reviewing an architecture, or implementing decisions about retries, consistency, caching, and reliability. The books provide reference knowledge; the agent still needs to reason about your requirements and test its implementation.
No API keys, embedding service, Python runtime, or external database required. SQLite and Tantivy BM25 search run on your machine.
Watch the 45-second demo. Retrieve a principle about safe retries, save it as a design lesson, and read it in a new MCP session. Real CLI and MCP output, edited for readability, using an original guide; source, transcript, and reproduction are included. Lesson saves happen explicitly through the CLI.
