We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Web & browsers

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add bookmarks -- npx -y bookmarks-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

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

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "bookmarks": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "bookmarks-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Bookmarks MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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

Source	How	Notes
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Chromium	reads each profile's local `Bookmarks` file	every profile auto-detected
Safari (macOS)	reads `~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist`	includes your Reading List; no extension can do this — Safari's extension API has no bookmarks surface
Firefox	reads `places.sqlite` per profile	needs Node ≥ 22.5 (built-in sqlite); degrades gracefully below
Export files	Pocket CSV, Instapaper CSV, Raindrop CSV, browser HTML, URL lists	via parse-bookmarks

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

Tool	What it does
`list_sources`	every bookmark source found on this machine
`list_bookmarks`	list, with folder filter + pagination
`search_bookmarks`	search titles / URLs / folders / tags
`recent_bookmarks`	"what did I save this week?"
`bookmark_stats`	the state of the pile: counts, age distribution, top domains
`parse_export_file`	parse a Pocket/Instapaper/Raindrop/HTML export from disk
`export_bookmarks`	everything out as Markdown, CSV, JSON, or importable browser HTML
`fetch_page_preview`	a few-hundred-token preview of a page (title, description, headings, excerpt) instead of the raw HTML — for when title/URL alone can't be triaged

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 triage_bookmarks prompt, which walks through exactly that — including asking *you* to define what your saves usually become, so the lanes are yours, not ours.

Guarantees

Read-only. This server never writes to a browser file. There is no delete tool. Your bookmarks cannot be harmed.
Zero phone-home. No telemetry, no accounts, and not a single byte sent to us. The server talks to exactly two places: your local bookmark files, and — only when you ask it to preview a page — the bookmarked site itself, directly from your machine.
Clean output. Tool results are data. No ads, no upsells, ever.

Design boundaries

These are deliberate, not gaps waiting to be filled. PRs that cross them will be declined:

Preview-level extraction only. fetch_page_preview answers "is this worth my time" — it is not a reader mode and never will be a full-fidelity content extractor.
Public web pages only. No proxies, no login walls, no special-casing for X/YouTube/WeChat/etc. If a page needs auth to read, this tool isn't the way in.
On-demand only. Nothing fetches in the background, ever. Every network call is a direct response to a tool call you made.

Roadmap

Cloud sources behind user-supplied tokens (Raindrop, Readwise, …) — one adapter per service. PRs welcome; an adapter is a single well-defined file.
Services that already ship their own MCP server don't need us — run both servers and your assistant sees everything. We only cover the places that have no other bridge.

Who makes this

Built by the team behind Burn 451, a read-later app. This server is deliberately neutral: it reads your bookmarks for whatever assistant and whatever workflow you choose, and it never writes to them.
