Connect CaliMob to Claude — AI Assistant via MCP
Connect your CaliMob library to Claude — or any MCP client — so an AI assistant can give you personalised, spoiler-free answers about your own books. Available on Pro plans and higher.
What you get
- Personalised recommendations — the assistant sees your reading history and ratings.
- No spoilers — it knows how far you’ve read and won’t reveal what’s ahead.
- Your reading stats — “how many books have I read this year?”
- Search your library — “that book about the Templars I read”.
Access is read-only and scoped to your account: the assistant can look, but never change or delete anything.
Generate your token
In CaliWeb, open Profile → API Settings and create a new token. Copy it — you’ll paste it into the config below. You can revoke it at any time.
Configure Claude Desktop
You need Node.js installed. Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"calimob": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://caliwebapp.com/api/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization:Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
]
}
}
}
Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with the token from step 2. mcp-remote is the standard bridge and is fetched automatically by npx — there is nothing to install.
Restart and try it
Restart Claude Desktop, then ask something like “Recommend a book from my library for the weekend” or “How am I doing on my reading goal this year?”

Private by design. Every tool is read-only and scoped to your account — other users’ data is never visible. Your token is personal, sent over HTTPS, and can be revoked anytime from Profile → API Settings. MCP access is a Pro (or higher) feature.
