Common questions

Is wallabag 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?

You need to fill in: WALLABAG_BASE_URL, WALLABAG_ACCESS_TOKEN, WALLABAG_CLIENT_SECRET, WALLABAG_PASSWORD

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 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

wallabag MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for wallabag, the open-source read-it-later service.

This server gives AI assistants a structured interface for common wallabag workflows:

Verify connectivity and authentication with a tiny read-only health check
List, filter, and page through saved articles
Fetch entry metadata or full extracted content
Save new URLs
Archive/unarchive and star/unstar entries
Reload/refetch article extraction
Delete entries
List and add tags
List, create, and delete annotations

Why this exists

wallabag is widely used in self-hosted setups, but its API is OAuth-based and awkward for general LLM tools. This MCP server wraps the important entry, tag, and annotation operations with an AI-friendly surface and documented parameters.

Installation

pipx install git+https://github.com/rusty4444/wallabag-mcp.git

Or from a checkout:

python -m venv .venv

source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e .

Configuration

The server reads configuration from environment variables:

Variable	Required	Description
`WALLABAG_BASE_URL`	Yes	Base URL of your wallabag instance, e.g. `https://app.wallabag.it`
`WALLABAG_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Optional	Existing OAuth access token; if set, password grant is skipped
`WALLABAG_CLIENT_ID`	Required unless access token is set	OAuth client id from wallabag's developer client page
`WALLABAG_CLIENT_SECRET`	Required unless access token is set	OAuth client secret
`WALLABAG_USERNAME`	Required unless access token is set	wallabag username
`WALLABAG_PASSWORD`	Required unless access token is set	wallabag password
`WALLABAG_TIMEOUT`	No	HTTP timeout in seconds, default `20`

Create a wallabag API client from your wallabag instance under Developer / API clients. wallabag's official docs show the password grant against /oauth/v2/token.

"mcpServers": { "wallabag": { "command": "wallabag-mcp", "env": { "WALLABAG_BASE_URL": "https://wallabag.example.com", "WALLABAG_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id", "WALLABAG_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret", "WALLABAG_USERNAME": "your-username", "WALLABAG_PASSWORD": "your-password" } } } }

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`wallabag_health_check`	Verify connectivity and authentication with a tiny read-only request
`wallabag_list_entries`	List entries with pagination and filters
`wallabag_get_entry`	Fetch one entry, optionally including extracted content
`wallabag_add_entry`	Save a URL into wallabag
`wallabag_update_entry`	Update title, URL, archive/starred state, or tags
`wallabag_archive_entry`	Mark an entry archived/read
`wallabag_unarchive_entry`	Mark an entry unarchived/unread
`wallabag_star_entry`	Star/favourite an entry
`wallabag_unstar_entry`	Remove starred/favourite state
`wallabag_reload_entry`	Ask wallabag to refetch/reparse the original URL
`wallabag_delete_entry`	Delete an entry
`wallabag_list_tags`	List known tags
`wallabag_add_tags_to_entry`	Add comma-separated tags to an entry
`wallabag_delete_tag`	Delete a tag globally
`wallabag_list_annotations`	List annotations for an entry
`wallabag_create_annotation`	Create an annotation on quoted article text
`wallabag_delete_annotation`	Delete an annotation

Development and validation

python -m venv .venv

source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e '.[dev]' ruff check . pytest python scripts/live_docs_test.py

live_docs_test.py validates wallabag's public API documentation and the hosted API docs page without needing account credentials. Mutation and authenticated request behaviours are covered with mocked HTTP tests.

Safety

Write-capable tools mutate your read-it-later library. Keep OAuth secrets in environment variables or a secret manager, never in source control.
