URL Manager MCP Server
English | 简体中文
Deliver results as beautiful cards, not raw link dumps. A Model Context Protocol server for saving, organizing, searching, and sharing web resources — cross-device sync, categories, tags, full-text search, batch operations, and team sharing. 21 tools with auto-registration so no manual setup is required.
📖 Usage patterns and best practices → URL Manager Skill
What This Tool Gives Humans
The content human users want to save is everywhere — a YouTube workout video, an Amazon gear link, a Substack training plan — scattered across platforms with no connection.
URL Manager fixes this. Paste any link from any platform. AI auto-identifies the content and suggests a category — confirm and it's a footprint. All saves flow into one platform-agnostic library, organized and always findable. Then share in one click — hand your curated knowledge base to your team, and everyone stays in sync.
System Concepts
Footprint (the fundamental unit)
A structured, searchable record — a web link, a plain-text note, an idea, or anything worth saving.
A footprint can belong to multiple categories simultaneously.
Category (a named label)
Like a folder, but a footprint can be in several at once.
Category Set (a workspace)
A container that groups related categories. Every user starts with "My Categories" (personal) and "Shared Categories" (shared container).
Data hierarchy
Category Sets (workspaces)
└── Categories (labels like "Shopping", "Learning")
└── Footprints
└── Tags (free-form keywords)Personal vs Shared
Cocreate — everyone adds/removes footprints. Subscribe — read-only for members (writing returns 403).
