Bookmarks tools (8)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • bookmark_stats

    The state of the pile: total count, per-source counts, age distribution (how much has sat untouched for years), and top domains. A good first call before triaging.

  • export_bookmarks

    Export bookmarks from detected browsers as markdown, csv, json, or importable browser HTML (Netscape format). Returns the file content; save it wherever you like.

  • fetch_page_preview

    Fetch a bookmarked URL and return a short, structured preview (title, description, headings, an opening excerpt, word count) instead of the raw page — a few hundred tokens instead of tens of thousands. Use this only when a title/URL alone isn't enough to triage a bookmark: dead links come back as `dead` or `unreachable` so you can retire them without guessing, rather than raw HTML. Results are cac

  • list_bookmarks

    List bookmarks from detected browsers. Supports folder filter and pagination.

  • list_sources

    Detect every bookmark source on this machine: Chromium-family profiles (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi), Firefox profiles, and Safari (incl. Reading List). Returns ids usable as the `source` argument of other tools.

  • parse_export_file

    Parse a bookmark export file from disk into clean JSON. Auto-detects: browser bookmark HTML (Netscape), Pocket CSV, Instapaper CSV, Raindrop CSV, or a plain URL list.

  • recent_bookmarks

    Bookmarks added in the last N days, newest first. Useful for `what did I save this week?`.

  • search_bookmarks

    Case-insensitive search across bookmark titles, URLs, folders, and tags in every detected browser.

Install Bookmarks in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y bookmarks-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add bookmarks-mcp -- npx -y bookmarks-mcp
Add to Cursor

What the publisher says

From the Bookmarks repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

bookmarks-mcp

Your bookmarks, wherever they live, readable by your AI.

Everyone saves. Browsers, read-later apps, that Pocket export from 2023 — capture is a solved problem. Processing is not: the average bookmark is saved once and never touched again. AI assistants are the first thing that can actually process a pile like that — summarize, triage, turn it into a to-do list — but they can't see it.

This is a local, read-only MCP server that fixes the "can't see it" part.

One command in your MCP client config. Zero accounts. Nothing is ever sent to us.

Sources

Phone bookmarks: reachable once they sync to your desktop (iCloud → Safari on Mac, Chrome sync → desktop profile). There is no way for any third-party tool to read Safari bookmarks directly on iOS.

Install

No account, no API key, no configuration — the server works the moment it's installed.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add -s user bookmarks -- npx -y bookmarks-mcp

Use -s user. The scope defaults to local, which only registers the server for the directory you ran the command in. Your bookmarks aren't tied to one project, so register it account-wide.

Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client (mcpServers JSON):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bookmarks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "bookmarks-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

To run from source instead (for development), clone this repo next to its dependency parse-bookmarks (the two directories must be siblings), run npm install in bookmarks-mcp, and point your client at node /absolute/path/to/bookmarks-mcp/src/index.js.

macOS + Safari: the app hosting the server (Claude Desktop, your terminal) needs Full Disk Access (System Settings → Privacy & Security), because ~/Library/Safari is protected. Chromium browsers and Firefox need nothing.

Tools

Turn the pile into a to-do list

The reason this exists. Ask your assistant:

Look at my bookmark stats, then help me triage: which of these become deep

reads, which are tools to try, which feed a project I'm working on, and

which should I finally let go? Give me a checklist for this week.

Or use the built-in triagebookmarks prompt, which walks through exactly that — including asking you* to define what your saves usually become, so the lanes are yours, not ours.

Guarantees

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
