Captured live from the server via tools/list.

get_book

A book's details and any film or series made from it. For requests like "tell me about Project Hail Mary", "is The Name of the Wind being made into a film?", "how long is Dune?". Misspellings are fine. If screen_checked is false, the film and TV check could not run just now, so the film and TV status is unknown.

Parameters3

title	string	required	The book's title, 2 to 120 characters. Add author for very short or common titles.
author	string	optional	The author's name, to pin down the right book or list their books.
country	string	optional	For buy links: US, GB, IE, CA, AU. Default from the request.

  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

find_similar_books

Books like one the user enjoyed, or for a genre. For requests like "books like The Martian" or "a good cosy mystery". Suggestions are English-language books for the same readers (picture book, children, young adult or adult), one per author and one per series. Well-read books of the same kind come first (picked_from: shelf, and because names the kind, for example "celebrated dystopian novels"), then books sharing specific subjects on Open Library (picked_from: subjects, and because lists the shared subjects). Novels never get self-help, textbooks, anthologies, study guides, category romance lines or explicit books as suggestions, and popular books are preferred over obscure ones. Other books by the same author are left out unless same_author=true. Give title or subject; common other titles work (1984, The Sorcerer's Stone)

Parameters5

title	string	optional	A book the user liked, 2 to 120 characters.
author	string	optional	The author's name, to pin down the right book or list their books.
subject	string	optional	A genre or theme, for example space opera, cozy mystery, heist.
same_author	boolean	optional	True to include more books by the same author.
country	string	optional	Two-letter country code for the shop links, for example US or GB.

goodturn-mcp

Remote MCP servers for 25 free, read-only everyday helpers by Good Turn Studio: money, health, jobs, travel, shopping, halal checks, football and scripture reading.

How it works

build.py reads each product's live openapi.json and writes products.js: one tool per GET operation, named from its operationId, with inputs from its parameters. Descriptions are tidied into plain tool descriptions.
worker.mjs is the MCP server: initialize, tools/list and tools/call, which calls the product's own API and returns its answer. Answers with a say field carry a ready-made summary.
servers.json lists every server for the official MCP Registry (as io.github.GoodTurnStudio/<slug>). The Publish to the MCP Registry workflow logs in with GitHub OIDC and runs publish.py; publish.ps1 does the same from Windows.

Build and test

code

npm install
npm run build          # python3 build.py, then bundle to deploy/_worker.js
npm test               # every product through the worker, against the live APIs
npm run test:live      # every tool through the deployed servers with the MCP SDK client

Deploy deploy/ as a Cloudflare Pages project in advanced mode (_worker.js).
