Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! Gutendex is completely free and requires no authentication. Just subscribe and start searching. There's no sign-up or registration needed.
What books are available?
Gutendex indexes 70,000+ ebooks from Project Gutenberg, the world's oldest digital library. This includes classics like Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, Moby Dick, Romeo and Juliet, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and thousands of other public domain works in many languages.
Can I filter by language?
Yes! Use the languages parameter with ISO 2-letter codes: "en" for English, "pt" for Portuguese, "fr" for French, "es" for Spanish, "de" for German, etc. You can also combine multiple languages: "en,fr" for English and French books.
Can I download the books?
Yes! Each book includes download URLs in multiple formats: HTML, EPUB, Kindle (MOBI), plain text, PDF and sometimes audio. The download links go directly to Project Gutenberg's servers. All books are in the public domain in the United States.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Gutendex tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
