Reach for this when you need to manipulate ebooks programmatically without spinning up your own PDF or EPUB processing pipeline. It exposes operations for merging multiple files, splitting them apart, compression, format conversion between EPUB and PDF, metadata editing, and validation. The streamable HTTP transport means you can call these operations remotely without installing native dependencies. Useful for workflows like batch converting research papers to EPUB, cleaning up metadata across a collection, or validating ebook files before distribution. Saves you from wrestling with libraries like pypdf or ebooklib directly.
Remote MCP server for EPUB and PDF ebook manipulation — merge, split, compress, convert, edit metadata, validate, and generate AI covers. Backed by epublys.com, running on Cloudflare Workers.
This is a hosted server (Streamable HTTP). There is nothing to install — this repository holds the public manifests, configuration examples, and documentation.

The same tools are available over plain REST with an OpenAPI spec — see https://epublys.com/for-ai-agents.
The Epublys service itself is closed-source. This repository contains only the public MCP manifests (server.json, smithery.yaml) and documentation, and is the canonical public home for the com.epublys/epublys registry entry. Issues are welcome for MCP integration problems; for product support use https://epublys.com/about.
