EPUB/PDF tools: merge, split, compress, convert, edit metadata, validate ebooks.
EPUB/PDF tools: merge, split, compress, convert, edit metadata, validate ebooks. That is what the epublys mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
This is a hosted server (Streamable HTTP). There is nothing to install — this repository holds the public manifests, configuration examples, and documentation.
The Epublys service itself is closed-source. This repository contains only the public MCP manifests (server.json, smithery.yaml) and documentation, and is the canonical public home for the com.epublys/epublys registry entry. Issues are welcome for MCP integration problems; for product support use https://epublys.com/about.
The server publishes 9 tools. What each one is for:
merge_epub — Merge multiple EPUB files into onesplit_epub — Split an EPUB by chapter rangescompress_epub — Compress an EPUB to reduce file sizeepub_to_pdf — Convert EPUB to PDFpdf_to_epub — Convert PDF to EPUBread_epub_metadata — Read EPUB metadataedit_epub_metadata — Edit EPUB metadata and covervalidate_epub — Validate EPUB structure (with optional auto-fix)generate_cover — Generate an AI book cover from a description (Pro)Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Epublys's toolset — merge_epub, split_epub, compress_epub and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by com.epublys; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Epublys's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
