I was looking around for an MCP server that could connect Anna's Archive to Claude Desktop, as I wanted to be able to search and download books directly through the interface.

I couldn't find any public implementations, so ended up building one myself.

What it does?

- It searches Anna's Archive by keywords. - It downloads books from search results. - It works directly in Claude Desktop through MCP.

Check out the repository's README for detailed installation and configuration instructions.

The code is fully open source and builds run on GitHub Actions for transparency.

I figured I'd share, since I couldn't be the only one wanting this functionality!

The real crime is an economic system that limits the spread of knowledge and access to other "human rights" by requiring everyone to hustle to survive (and, if possible, increase capital gains for the financial overlords) when we would already be technologically equipped to feed and house well all of mankind, instead of letting thousands of children starve to death each day and restricting access to education so that billions miss out on their intellectual development - a void easily filled with addictive media full of rage and distraction. Pirating books is just a symptom of this wretched system. And it is not enough - RISE, HN! .. towards RBE & beyond..
