This Skill helps you quickly search and query your Calibre library databases using calibredb, enabling you to locate books, track reading status, and derive library statistics without manually inspecting records.
Run a sample query using calibredb, for example:
/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibredb list --with-library='http://killington.home.bitbin.de:8454/#' --username='calibre' --password='calibre' --fields='title,authors,series,series_index,*read,*archived' --search='#read:No' --for-machine | python3 -m json.tool

Calibre library searching uses calibredb, a command-line tool that queries your Calibre database to retrieve books and metadata. You specify your library URL, credentials, and search syntax to filter books by title, author, series, reading status, or custom fields, returning results in JSON format for programmatic use.
Yes. calibredb supports filtering by built-in fields like title and authors, plus custom fields such as read status, date read, ratings, and archive flags. Use Calibre search syntax (e.g., #read:No) to compose complex queries and select specific fields to return.
Query your Calibre library with calibredb using search filters for unread and non-archived books, selecting fields like title, authors, and series. The Skill returns machine-readable JSON output that you can process to create prioritized reading lists or track library statistics.
Yes. calibredb connects to both local Calibre databases and remote Calibre servers via HTTP URL with username and password authentication, allowing you to query libraries hosted on network servers or local instances.
Use calibredb to run aggregating queries across your library, selecting relevant fields and applying search filters. The JSON output enables analysis of reading patterns, completion rates, rating distributions, and series progress over time.
