Clean messy HTML exports directly in Claude Desktop

The `parse_browser_bookmarks` tool parses raw Netscape HTML bookmark files from Chrome, Firefox, or Safari directly through Claude Desktop's local filesystem connection. You export your bookmarks to a local folder, point Claude to the file path, and watch the messy nested markup turn into structured JSON. Instead of digging through thousands of dead links or dealing with browser-specific sync bugs, you let Claude Desktop parse the file locally. Your agent reads the output, flags duplicates, and groups your links by topic or project.

Build custom link directories with this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes the `parse_browser_bookmarks` tool to extract clean URLs, foldering structures, and timestamps from your browser backups. Claude Desktop reads the raw HTML structure directly from your machine, bypassing manual CSV conversions or third-party bookmark managers. You get a structured, searchable catalog of your entire web history in seconds. Your agent can then write a script to organize these links into markdown files, resource lists, or project documentation.

Deduplicate thousands of browser links in Claude Desktop

Passing the absolute path of your HTML export to the `parse_browser_bookmarks` tool allows Claude Desktop to run fast deduplication sweeps across your entire web archive. You pass the absolute path of your HTML export, and the tool delivers a clean feed of every single saved URL. Claude Desktop compares the URLs, catches identical links buried in different folders, and outputs a clean, consolidated bookmark file. You clean up years of digital hoarding without installing sketchy browser extensions.
