apple-books-mcp vs chiasmus

apple-books-mcp: Apple Books MCP is a server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for accessing Apple Books data. It provides a set of tools to query collections, books, annotations, reading status, and library statistics. Users can ask Claude to summarize highlights, find books, or analyze reading habits.; chiasmus: Chiasmus is an MCP server that integrates formal verification (Z3, Prolog) and code analysis (tree-sitter) to solve complex logical and structural problems. It translates natural language into formal logic using templates and provides verified results. It also analyzes source code call graphs for dead code, impact, and reachability.
