MCP.Pizza Chef: onebirdrocks

Point your assistant at a folder of e-books and it can list what is there, read a table of contents, pull out a single chapter, and answer questions from the text. It is genuinely handy for studying: request a chapter summary, ask for a quiz on what you just read, or find every section covering one topic. Setup is technical, since this is a Python project you install and run yourself, and no account key is required. The last code change was January 2026.

Ebook-MCP transforms how you interact with your digital books by enabling natural language conversations with your reading materials. It seamlessly integrates with modern AI-powered IDEs like Cursor and Claude, allowing you to:

  • Smart Library Management: Simply ask "Show me all EPUB files in my downloads folder" or "Find books about GenAI in my library"
  • Interactive Reading Experience: Have natural conversations about your books:
    • "Give me a brief introduction to 'LLM Engineer Handbook'"
    • "What's covered in Chapter 3?"
    • "Summarize the key points about RAG from this book"
  • Active Learning Support: Enhance your learning through AI-powered interactions:
    • "Create a quiz based on the RAG concepts from Chapter 5"
    • "Explain the differences between the architectures discussed in this chapter"
    • "Give me practical exercises based on the concepts in this section"
  • Content Navigation: Easily navigate through your books with natural language queries:
    • "Find all sections discussing prompt engineering"
    • "Show me the chapters about fine-tuning"

ebook-mcp FAQ

Is it still maintained?

Which file types work?
EPUB and PDF. Other formats are described as future plans rather than something that works today.
Do I need a key?
No. It reads files already on your computer, so there is no account to sign up for.
Can I use this to study for an exam?
Yes. Ask for chapter summaries, then have it write practice questions and check your answers.
How hard is setup?
It is a Python project you install and start from a terminal, so expect some command-line work.
Which apps does it work with?
The examples cover Cursor and Claude, and the project ships sample scripts for other setups.
