Connect Bibliophilarr

Add Bibliophilarr to Kochab with your API key and default port 8787.

Bibliophilarr manages books and audiobooks. Kochab uses its API directly for library, search, calendar, and the download queue.

What Kochab exposes through Bibliophilarr

  • Blended tabs: Search, Library, Calendar/Wanted, and Bibliophilarr grabs in Downloads
  • Control screen: health, disk, commands, read-only profiles and root folders
  • Detail pages: book/author management via the shared Servarr UI

Not exposed through Bibliophilarr

Full Bibliophilarr admin stays in its web UI. Container control requires a separate host entry if needed.
