Burn — Personal Knowledge Base MCP Server

Want this badge in your own README? Grab the markdown at burn451.cloud/developers#badges.

Your reading data as an AI-accessible knowledge base. 26 tools for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent.

Watch the real Claude → Burn walkthrough — the exact read-only prompt, tool calls, sources, and limits are published so you can reproduce it.

You need a free Burn account to use this server. Fastest path: open Burn on the web → Settings → MCP Server → Copy Access Token. Prefer the app? Download Burn for iPhone. Burn has a free tier (5 saves/day, all 26 MCP tools included) and a Pro plan at $4.99/month for unlimited saves.

How it works

Burn is a read-later app with a 24-hour deadline — saves auto-burn unless you read or rescue them. The honest answer to the bookmark graveyard problem — research suggests 84% of saved bookmarks are never revisited (Bergman, Whittaker & Schooler, 2021).

Triage flow:

  • Flame → New links. 24h to read or they burn.
  • Spark → You read it. Stays 30 days.
  • Vault → Permanent. Your curated knowledge.
  • Ash → Expired. They had their chance.

The MCP server lets your AI agent search, triage, organize, and analyze everything you've saved. Built for Claude users who want their reading history as context.

Migrating from another tool? Burn is a Pocket replacement (Mozilla shut Pocket down July 2025), an Omnivore alternative (acquired by ElevenLabs late 2024), and a Matter app alternative.

Quick Start

1. Get your token

  1. Create a free Burn account — iOS app or web
  2. Open the app → Settings → MCP Server → Generate token → Copy

The server exchanges your token for a short-lived Supabase session and caches it in ~/.burn/mcp-session.json. No re-login on each run.

2a. Remote — Streamable HTTP (fastest)

Use the hosted endpoint with the same Burn token. Nothing runs locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "burn": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://burn-mcp-server.vercel.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

For claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom MCP, use the endpoint above, and add the same Authorization header.

2b. Local — stdio fallback

Run the npm package locally in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "burn": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["burn-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "BURN_MCP_TOKEN": "<your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start asking

  • "What did I save about system design?"
  • "Triage my Flame — what should I keep?"
  • "Create a collection from my AI bookmarks"
