TextStack.Mcp

The TextStack MCP server — connect your TextStack reading library to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol client. Ask your books questions, read chapters, and manage your highlights and vocabulary straight from your AI assistant.

It exposes 7 tools:

Tool What it does
search_books Search the public book library by query
get_book Fetch a book's metadata and chapter list by slug
get_chapter Fetch the full text of a single chapter
ask_book Ask a question about a book and get a cited, grounded answer
list_my_highlights List your saved highlights (requires sign-in)
save_highlight Save a passage to your highlights (requires sign-in)
list_my_vocabulary List your saved vocabulary words (requires sign-in)

Install

dotnet tool install -g TextStack.Mcp

This installs the textstack-mcp command (.NET 10+; rolls forward to future majors).

On .NET 10 you can also run it without installing:

dnx textstack-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "textstack": {
      "command": "textstack-mcp",
      "env": {
        "TEXTSTACK_API_URL": "https://textstack.app/api",
        "TEXTSTACK_SITE_HOST": "textstack.app"
      }
    }
  }
}

The server speaks MCP over stdio by default — exactly what a local desktop client needs. The public tools (search_books, get_book, get_chapter, ask_book) work without signing in.

Auth (for your highlights / vocabulary)

The first user-scoped tool call returns a message like "authentication required — open https://textstack.app/device and enter code XXXX-XXXX". Open the device page, sign in, enter the code, then retry the call.

Remote option (no install)

Prefer not to run anything locally? Point a Streamable-HTTP MCP client at the hosted endpoint instead:

https://textstack.app/mcp
