Open Library MCP — Internet Archive's open book metadata
The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained.
Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 8 August 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.
Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.
