Project instructions for Calibre MCP, a server that lets an AI assistant search and manage a Calibre e-book library. They describe its command entry point, response format, and supported local or HTTP connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the Calibre MCP server, its search and management operations, its LanceDB metadata search, or its stdio and HTTP transports.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project context and conventions needed to change or run the server correctly.

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 CLAUDE.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 6d 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.

calibremcp — Claude Code 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
  • AGENTS.md — OpenAI Codex agent context (if present)

Session Context

You have access to a Calibre e-book library with 21 portmanteau tools for search, management, export, and RAG.

  • Search library: calibre_search(operation="search_books", query="...")
  • Library health: calibre_manage(operation="library_health")
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.
