# EbooksDepository pricing

The EbooksDepository public search API, catalog MCP server,
documentation MCP server, Markdown pages, and structured feeds cost
**€0**. There are no paid tiers, subscriptions, API keys, trials,
contracts, per-request charges, or usage-based invoices.

## Public access

| Surface | Price | Limit | Authentication |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| Search API (`GET /api/v1/search`) | €0 | 60 requests/minute | None |
| Catalog MCP (`POST /api/mcp`, alias `/mcp`) | €0 | 60 requests/minute | None |
| Documentation MCP (`POST /api/mcp/docs`, alias `/mcp/docs`) | €0 | 60 requests/minute | None |
| Markdown documents and structured feeds | €0 | Fair use | None |

Standard `RateLimit` response headers tell a client how much capacity
remains, and `Retry-After` tells it when to retry a 429. Rate limits are
service-protection boundaries, not a paid-plan boundary; there is no
upgrade that raises them.

EbooksDepository does not sell books and never returns or compares book
prices. A bookshop linked from a result is an independent retailer and
states its own current offer on its own site. API documentation:
