Calculate reading progress with `analyze_reading_list`

Stop guessing when you'll finish that stack of books. This MCP Server runs the numbers against your stated WPM to give you a hard completion date. Your reading list moves from a pile of paper to a predictable timeline.

Sequence your books using the Snowball Method

The `analyze_reading_list` tool sorts your queue by difficulty and length to maintain cognitive momentum. It keeps you from burning out on dense material. Claude Desktop then presents this as a structured order that you can actually follow.

Manage reading data inside your agent

Your AI client holds your entire bibliography in context without losing track of page counts. Every item is cross-referenced for total accuracy. It handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on the actual reading.
