You might have misunderstood.

The version 2 server provides access to calibre libraries via an HTTP browser, just like version 3 or 4. It is 'read only' because it lacks any write capabilities.

I use it to get books from my calibre libraries via an Authors notebook in Evernote. I don't need write access in that context, so there was no value in re-jigging the hooks I had created in Evernote for calibre-server 2 access to work for calibre-server 3 (or 4) access - i.e. IIABDFI.

Calibre-spy is a read-only GUI client that allows multiple users to access the same library concurrently - its primary usage is to overcome the one-instance-only restriction in the standard calibre GUI. I don't know if it can access a library on a server - i.e. if you can open a calibre library via an HTTP URI instead of a calibre library file path - you'd need to ask the author if it is not obvious from the doco. If you can use an HTTP URI, you would use it with the current version of calibre-server.
