Works with

Claude CodeClaude DesktopCursorVS CodeClineCodex CLIOpenClaw+ any MCP client

Install to Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http most-recommended-books https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp

Summary

Most Recommended Books is a read-only MCP server that gives agents verified book recommendations from public figures, curated reading lists, series reading orders, consensus best-of lists, and book summaries with links back to the original sources.

Connect from your MCP client

Claude Code

Run this once and Claude Code registers the server for you:

claude mcp add --transport http most-recommended-books https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json under Settings → Developer → Edit Config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "most-recommended-books": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "most-recommended-books": {
      "url": "https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline and other MCP clients

Most MCP clients accept the standard mcpServers JSON block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "most-recommended-books": {
      "url": "https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Codex CLI connects to remote servers via config.toml — add this block to ~/.codex/config.toml:

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.most-recommended-books]
url = "https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp"

OpenClaw

OpenClaw reads MCP servers from the mcp.servers section of ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (managed via `openclaw mcp add` or the mcporter skill):

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "most-recommended-books": {
        "url": "https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/api/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http"
      }
    }
  }
}
