Overview
What is Epub Mcp?
Epub Mcp is an MCP server that provides a set of tools for reading EPUB file contents. It is designed for use with MCP clients such as cline (formerly known as cline) and wraps the @lingo-reader/epub-parser library to expose EPUB reading capabilities as MCP tools.
How to use Epub Mcp?
Install and run using npx -y epub-mcp or execute directly with Node.js via <Installation Directory>/node_modules/epub-mcp/dist/index.mjs. Configure it under mcpServers in your MCP client (e.g., cline) using the command/args syntax. On Windows use cmd /c npx -y epub-mcp for compatibility.
