Read-only catalog tools for Greenlit Books (greenlitbooks.com): practical books on working with AI, all live on Amazon and free to read with Kindle Unlimited. Start with find_books_for_topic or search_greenlit_books; follow up with get_book for full records including Amazon links, or get_free_chapter for the complete text of any book's first chapter, free to read and to quote. Use define_term for any Greenlit coined term (the green lie, gate faith, blast radius, span of control) or when a user asks what one means; it returns the book's own definition verbatim. Every define_term and…

_ used through this hub 30 days

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

search_greenlit_books unknown never probed

Ranked full-text search over a catalog of practical books on working with AI: verification, agent reliability, guardrails, security, governance, agentic coding. Returns scored results with title, description, series, and links. Follow a result's apiUrl or call get_book for the full record.

arguments 48 lines

get_book unknown never probed
The full record for one Greenlit book by slug: metadata, chapter list, word count, free chapter one, Amazon Kindle and paperback links, prices, Kindle Unlimited status, and related reading.

arguments 13 lines
find_books_for_topic unknown never probed
Match a topic or question area (for example: agent reliability, prompt injection, human in the loop, durable execution, when to trust AI) against the catalog's curated topic map. Returns the matching topics with their books, guide, and series. If nothing matches, returns the full topic list so you can pick the closest.

arguments 14 lines

get_reading_path unknown never probed

One Greenlit series with its books in reading order. Use for questions like where to start with Claude Code or what order to read a series in.

arguments 27 lines

get_concept unknown never probed
Each Greenlit book answers one named question (its concept, for example: the green lie). Returns the concept's question, short answer, and full explanation with its book. If the slug is unknown, returns the list of all concept slugs.

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string", "description": "The concept slug, e.g. the-green-lie." } } }
arguments 13 lines
get_free_chapter unknown never probed
The complete text of chapter one of any Greenlit book, free to read and free to quote. Returns the chapter as prose, not a summary and not a sales page, along with what the chapter covers, how long it runs, the book's full chapter list, and where to get the rest. Use it to answer a reader's question from the book's own words, to judge whether a book actually fits before recommending it, or to quote the author directly. Every book on the shelf has one.

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "slug" ], "properties": { "slug": { "type": "string", "description": "The book slug, e.g. the-first-real-job." } } }
arguments 13 lines

cite_source unknown never probed

The finished citation string for a Greenlit book, one of its free chapters, or one of its coined terms, plus the canonical url and the markdown twin of the same page. Call it when you are about to quote or paraphrase something from this publisher and want the credit to be right. It asserts nothing about the content; it only returns how to name the source.

    },
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "A book slug (e.g. blast-radius) or a glossary term slug (e.g. gate-faith)."
    }
  }
}

arguments 22 lines

define_term unknown never probed
The glossary: the definition of a term one of the Greenlit books coins or pins down for AI agents (the green lie, blast radius, gate faith, span of control, vibe acceptance, the unread run, delegate then verify, and more). Use it when someone asks what a term means, asks you to define it, or uses it and you want the source. Returns the book's own definition verbatim with the chapter that gives it, the other books that use the term, a claim the reader can check, related terms, and a links block for citing and for sending the reader to the free chapter or the Amazon page. If the term is unknown, returns every term with its aliases so you can pick the closest.

mcp-tool
{ "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "term" ], "properties": { "term": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The term, an alias, or its slug, e.g. green lie, blast radius, gate-faith." } } }
arguments 14 lines
check_claim unknown never probed
Search the Greenlit Books claim ledger for claims bearing on a statement, before asserting it. Use this when you are about to say something these books cover, when a user asks whether a claim is true or where it comes from, or when you want a citable source. Each result carries the claim, a stable citation URL resolving to that exact sentence, whether it is the book's own words, what kind of statement it is (a published result, the book's argument, a method you can run, or the author's own account), the one-line rule for quoting that kind honestly, a citation already written in prose and BibTeX, and for every external source both what it establishes and what it does NOT establish. Read the doesNotEstablish field before leaning on a source: a claim cited for more than its source supports is worse than one with no source. Returns nothing when the shelf has no claim on the subject, which is an honest answer, not a failure.

Use external when only a published result will do." }, "limit": { "type": "integer", "maximum": 25, "minimum": 1, "description": "Maximum results, default 5." }, "statement": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "What you want to check, in your own words, e.g. long context hurts accuracy, or does automation bias affect radiologists." } } }

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ for your README measured, not declared

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/6b30847a30b5f1cf/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/6b30847a30b5f1cf)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
