Summary
Wraps the Open Library API so you can query book metadata by ISBN without dealing with authentication or rate limits. Exposes a single get_book tool that returns titles, authors, publication dates, descriptions, ratings, and availability status. Useful when you need quick lookups for ISBN data in your agent workflows without standing up your own Open Library integration. Hosted by Pipeworx as a streamable HTTP endpoint, so no local server required. The gateway also supports plain English queries if you'd rather ask "find me details about this ISBN" than construct the tool call yourself.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.
