No idea how an MCP is relevant to the discussion, it still needs a working domain name to talk to the service.

What Hacker News says
3 sourcesUPDATE:
Following a suggestion from @irskep, I've added CLI command support for the search and download features.
This raised a valid concern - while we're focused on building MCP servers, we shouldn't overlook whether users already have preferred (T/G)UIs available. When they don't exist, we should consider user experience and make our functionality accessible through multiple interfaces beyond just MCP.

In Show HN: MCP server for searching and downloading documents from Anna's ArchiveShow HN: MCP server for searching and downloading documents from Anna's Archive
I was looking around for an MCP server that could connect Anna's Archive to Claude Desktop, as I wanted to be able to search and download books directly through the interface.
I couldn't find any public implementations, so ended up building one myself.
What it does?
- It searches Anna's Archive by keywords.
- It downloads books from search results.
- It works directly in Claude Desktop through MCP.
Check out the repository's README for detailed installation and configuration instructions.
The code is fully open source and builds run on GitHub Actions for transparency.
I figured I'd share, since I couldn't be the only one wanting this functionality!
