calibremcp AGENTS.md

calibremcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from sandraschi/calibremcp. It costs 431 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Calibre MCP, a server that lets AI clients search and manage a Calibre e-book library. They explain its entry points, coding standards, and the HTTP daemon plus stdio proxy setup for shared databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or deploying Calibre MCP, configuring its HTTP or stdio transport, managing its persistent indexes, or working on its FastMCP tools.
Why use it?
They prevent database contention when several clients connect and clarify how the server should be run and changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

calibremcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

calibremcp — Agent Guide

Overview

SOTA April 2026 industrialized FastMCP 3.2.0 server for conversational Calibre e-book library management with sampling, agentic workflows, skills, prompts, and LanceDB metadata RAG

Entry Points

  • uv run schip-mcp-calibrecalibre_mcp.__main__:run

Standards

  • FastMCP 3.2+ portmanteau tool pattern — tools use operation enum param
  • Responses: structured dicts with success, message, domain-specific fields
  • Dual transport: stdio (Claude Desktop) + HTTP (MCP_TRANSPORT=http)
  • See mcp-central-docs for fleet-wide coding standards

Key Files

  • README.md — full documentation
  • pyproject.toml — build config and entry points
  • CLAUDE.md — Claude Code context (if present)

HTTP Daemon + Stdio Proxy

This server owns persistent state (Calibre metadata.db, LanceDB RAG index, book FTS cache). To prevent database contention when multiple stdio clients connect concurrently, use the HTTP Daemon + Stdio Proxy pattern:

  1. Start the HTTP daemon (owns DB): python -m calibre_mcp (HTTP mode)
  2. Stdio clients (Claude Desktop, opencode, Cursor) probe http://127.0.0.1:10720/mcp on startup
  3. If the daemon is alive, the stdio instance becomes a lightweight proxy via create_proxy() — zero DB initialization
  4. If unreachable, starts normally as a standalone server

Env var to override the probe URL: CALIBREOPS_API_URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:10720/mcp) Reference implementation: src/calibre_mcp/server.py

Install docs: follow mcp-central-docs/standards/AGENT_INSTALL_REFERENCE.md

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
