Books Mandala MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants search, browse, and discover books from Books Mandala — Nepal's largest online bookstore with 50,000+ titles.

What It Does

Connect any MCP-compatible AI app (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to Books Mandala's live catalog. Your AI assistant can:

  • Search books by title, author, or ISBN

  • Browse 177 genres and filter by category

  • Check current bestsellers and new arrivals

  • Look up author profiles and their available titles

All responses include real-time prices (NPR), stock availability, and direct links back to booksmandala.com for purchasing.
