### Description (declared)

# stewreads

![StewReads Pixel Art](assets/stewreads-text-pixel.png)

StewReads is a local MCP server that transforms AI conversations into clean, well-formatted ebooks. Everything runs on your machine, with no account and no cloud backend required. Generate EPUB files from your chats and send them directly to Kindle or any email address. Works with Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients.

## Website vs Local Package
The official StewReads website is [stewreads.com](https://stewreads.com). This PyPI package, `stewreads-mcp`, is the local-first MCP version for people who want to run ebook generation from Claude Desktop on their own machine. Installing this package does not connect to a StewReads cloud backend.

## Features
- Local-first MCP server with no login or cloud backend
- Local stdio MCP server (no backend calls)
- EPUB generation from markdown
- Save generated ebooks to a configured local directory
- Send generated EPUB files by email via built-in Gmail SMTP (App Password)
- Optional MP3 audiobook generation via ElevenLabs TTS

## Use Cases
- Learn a new topic with Claude and turn the discussion into a polished ebook for later reading.
- Generate a focused ebook before a flight and read offline on your e-reader.
- Turn long planning or research chats into one clean document you can revisit anytime.
- Create Kindle-ready study notes from tutoring or interview-prep conversations.
- Save and share AI-generated explainers with friends or teammates over email.
