How to Use the Wallabag (Pocket Alternative) MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I get article content in Wallabag (Pocket Alternative) when using Cursor?

Simply tell the agent which entry ID you need. It uses getentry and streams the full text data directly into the code block or file where your cursor is positioned. You never leave the editor.

Q: Can I tag content in Wallabag (Pocket Alternative) using Cursor?

Yes, you can call addtagstoentry from within Agent mode. This keeps your knowledge base organized and allows that structure to inform the code or documentation you're writing.

Q: What if I need to delete an old article from Wallabag (Pocket Alternative) using Cursor?

You call deleteentry with the ID. The agent executes the deletion, and since this is happening within a controlled environment, you get immediate confirmation that the resource is removed.

Q: Does Wallabag (Pocket Alternative) require local setup when using Cursor?

No. You configure it via .cursor/mcp.json or globally in /.cursor/mcp.json. The agent mode handles the connection, allowing you to use remote servers seamlessly.

Inject article context into your code.

Need to reference a technical spec you saved weeks ago? Use `get_entry` with the ID and have the agent pull the full text. This live data feeds directly into Cursor, allowing you to write accurate, informed functions without switching tabs. Think of it like having your research notes automatically pasted into your IDE's context window for generation.

Annotate code using saved articles.

You can use `create_annotation` to link specific parts of the article content to a section of code you are writing. The agent writes that annotation and injects it into your current file structure. This is huge for team onboarding; you're not just coding, you're documenting *why* you coded it using real-world context.

Manage resources within the editor.

Want to check if a required resource was already reviewed? Call `list_entries` to pull a list of saved articles. You can then process that list and use tools like `mark_entry_favorite` to flag essential items, making sure those key URLs are available as context for your next coding sprint. It's all about keeping the data flow localized within your project scope.
