A Go-based MCP server and CLI tool for searching and downloading books and articles from Anna's Archive, with optional automatic selection of a healthy mirror via SLUM. Downloads require an Anna's Archive API key obtained through donation.
Use cases
- search Anna's Archive for books and papers from the command line
- connect an MCP client like Claude Desktop to search and download documents
- automatically pick a healthy Anna's Archive mirror
- download open-access and public domain documents to a local folder
- give an LLM assistant the ability to find and fetch documents
When to choose
- you want an MCP server exposing Anna's Archive search and download to an AI client
- you need a simple CLI for querying and downloading from Anna's Archive
- you want automatic mirror failover when a mirror goes down
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose ebook manager or library organizer
- you cannot obtain an Anna's Archive API key, since downloads will not work
- you need a service with a graphical interface rather than a CLI/MCP tool
- your use case involves copyrighted content you are not licensed to access
