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

Full details of one book by its slug (from search_books): description, contributors, subjects, page count, audio tracks and the jainebooks.org url where it can be read or downloaded. If the person notices a mistake in the details (wrong author, year, language, publisher) or a duplicate, send them to report_url — it opens the correction form on the book page for them to file with their own account.

books

search_books

Search the Jainebooks catalogue by title, author, publisher, subject or keyword, in any script. Returns a page of matching books, each with its jainebooks.org url, plus facets: how many of ALL matches fall in each language, subject and content type (id => count), so you can narrow with one more call. Filter with the ids that list_filters returns. Leave query empty to browse.

filters

list_filters

The vocabularies search_books filters by — languages, subjects and content types (pass their id), plus religions, traditions and series for context. Small and stable; call it once.

Jainebooks Catalogue — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Jainebooks Catalogue do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_book, list_filters, search_books. 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 Jainebooks Catalogue working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 133 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Jainebooks Catalogue?

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. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does Jainebooks Catalogue need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, Jainebooks Catalogue answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is Jainebooks Catalogue?

It answers our handshake in 133 ms on average, which is faster than 86% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
