RU Books MCP server

RU Books is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 8 tools, among them book_details, books_by_author, books_by_format. It answers at https://knigochit.ru/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 21 October 2026, succeeded.
