Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

book

get_book

Re-resolve a single book's purchase URL, cover image, and ISBN from its Shopify product handle. Use this to refresh or re-reference a book across turns without re-running the full name search.

books

search_books

Search for personalized puzzle books by first name. Returns matching books with direct Shopify purchase links, cover images, and ISBNs. A typical exact match returns 9 books across 3 puzzle types (mazes, name-sudokus, word searches) and 3 difficulty levels. When no exact match exists, returns similarly-named books. Use this whenever a user is shopping for a personalized gift and knows the recipient's first name.

suggest

suggest_names

Suggest first names for which personalized puzzle books are likely available. Use this when a user is unsure of a spelling, wants gift-recipient ideas, or only has part of a name. Returns popular available names, optionally filtered by a case-insensitive prefix. To confirm a specific name has matching books, follow up with `search_books`.

On-Demand-Books — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can On-Demand-Books do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_book, search_books, suggest_names. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is On-Demand-Books working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 410 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect On-Demand-Books?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does On-Demand-Books need an API key?

No. On-Demand-Books completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is On-Demand-Books?

It answers our handshake in 410 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is On-Demand-Books open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Rust and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at on-demand-books-dq2yvpdh.fermyon.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
