Frequently asked questions about the Calibre-Web MCP Server
Can I browse my entire library structure through the AI?
Yes. By using the get_opds_catalog tool, the agent retrieves the root XML feed of your Calibre-Web instance, allowing it to see categories, authors, and series as defined in your OPDS settings.
How do I list books from a specific custom shelf?
You can use the get_opds_shelf tool by providing the specific shelf_id. The AI will then return the list of books and metadata associated with that particular shelf.
Does this support syncing my Kobo e-reader?
Yes. If you provide your CALIBRE_WEB_KOBO_TOKEN, you can use the sync_kobo_library tool to get structured metadata and download links specifically formatted for Kobo device synchronization.
