Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

NameDescription
BOOKS_USER_AGENT
Optional		Identify your own client. The project's own identifier is appended, so an archive can always reach a human.
BOOKS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS
Optional		Widen the gap between two requests to one archive. Each archive keeps its own spacing when this is unset, and this can only make it wider.
BOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS
Optional		Deadline for one request to an archive, in milliseconds. Default 45000.
BOOKS_MAX_RETRIES
Optional		Retries on rate limiting and transient failures. Default 3.
BOOKS_CACHE_TTL_MS
Optional		In-memory cache lifetime, in milliseconds. Default 900000. Set 0 to turn it off.
BOOKS_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES
Optional		In-memory cache size. Default 200.
BOOKS_LOG_LEVEL
Optional		silent, error, info or debug. Default error. Logs go to stderr.
