Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Vooks catalog every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 7

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

catalog
create_catalog_export
Start an asynchronous export of every Vooks title matching the given filters, for bulk work that would otherwise be hundreds of searches. Returns a job id immediately; poll it with get_export_job. The idempotency_key makes a retry safe: calling again with the same key returns the original job rather than starting a second one.
export
get_export_job
Report the status of an export started by create_catalog_export. download_url points at the finished export. A job is derived from its id rather than stored, so it never expires and needs no polling: the status is succeeded the moment create_catalog_export returns.
pricing
get_pricing_plans
Return every published Vooks subscription plan with its price, billing interval, audience and free-trial length, plus the school and district option, which is quoted per customer rather than priced. Use this to answer what Vooks costs instead of quoting a figure from memory.
recommend
recommend_titles
Pick Vooks titles for one child, given their age, what they are interested in, how many minutes are available and which language to narrate in. Each recommendation comes back with the reason it was chosen, so you can explain the pick to a parent or teacher rather than just listing books.
title
get_title
Fetch a single Vooks title by its slug, including the publisher's full description, age band, Lexile measure, running time and topics. Reads the live catalog rather than the search index, so it is never a snapshot. Use it after search_titles when you need to say more about one book than the search result carries.
titles
search_titles
Search the Vooks library of animated read-along storybooks, audiobooks and ebooks for children. Combine a free-text query with a child's age, a topic, a narration language and whether an audio-only version exists. Use this to answer 'what should a five-year-old who likes dinosaurs watch'. Returns the matching titles and the true total for the filters, so you can tell a narrow result from an empty library.
topics
list_topics
List every topic slug search_titles accepts, with how many titles carry each one. Call this before filtering by topic rather than guessing a slug: a guess that does not exist is rejected, and this tells you what the library is actually organised around.

Vooks catalog — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Vooks catalog do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_catalog_export, get_export_job, get_pricing_plans, get_title, list_topics, recommend_titles and 1 more. 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 Vooks catalog 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 155 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Vooks catalog?
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 Vooks catalog need an API key?
No. Vooks catalog completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Vooks catalog?
It answers our handshake in 155 ms on average, which is faster than 83% 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.
