BookPal has helped groups buy books since 2008. Connect our public MCP server and your assistant can look up a book, estimate the price per copy at your quantity, check likely delivery and prepare a quote request, with no sign-in and nothing to install.
Read-only. Prices are estimates; the final price is always on your bookpal.com cart or quote.
Server address
https://mcp.bookpal.com/mcp
Ask your assistant for 40 copies of a leadership book for a January kickoff. It looks the title up in our catalog, estimates the price per copy and the likely delivery, and gives you a link that opens a quote request with the details filled in.
Search by title, author or ISBN and get matching titles from the BookPal catalog.
See the estimated price per copy and total at your quantity, using the same price tiers as our cart.
Purchase order, tax-exempt or very large order? The assistant prepares a quote link, and a BookPal specialist takes it from there.
The server uses Streamable HTTP and needs no sign-in. Use the address below, then pick the setup that matches your assistant.

On Team and Enterprise plans an owner may need to add connectors first.
Run this once in your terminal.

Every tool only reads information. None of them places an order, charges a card or touches an account.
search_booksFinds a book by title, author or ISBN-13 and returns up to 10 matches, with format, minimum order, price and a link to the book page.
bulk_priceGives the price per copy and the total for a quantity, the tier that applies and the next tier. Very large orders come back with a quote link.
delivery_estimateGives a likely arrival window in business days, with an optional ZIP code. When a date cannot be known, a specialist confirms it.
request_quote_linkBuilds a quote link for purchase orders, tax-exempt, very large or custom orders. You submit it, and a specialist replies.
Prices and delivery windows from the server are estimates to help your assistant plan. The price you pay is the one shown on your bookpal.com cart or on a written BookPal quote, and that is the number to rely on. Publisher prices and availability can change, and a specialist will tell you if anything on your list does.

The server cannot see your cart, your account or your past orders, and it cannot buy anything. It only receives what a tool call contains: a search phrase, an ISBN, a quantity and, if you give one, a ZIP code. It answers with catalog information.
Connecting takes an address, not a login or an API key.
Titles, prices at a quantity and delivery estimates. Nothing about you.
Orders and quotes are finished on bookpal.com or with a specialist.
