Gutenberg MCP Server is answering right now. Last checked 7 min ago. 72 installs a week from npm. It exposes 4 tools. Last commit 23 Aug 2026.
MCP server for Project Gutenberg — 75,000+ public-domain ebooks with full plain-text retrieval.
Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 23 August 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.
Today is the operative word: we check Gutenberg MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
