What is the Readwise MCP Server?
Connect your Readwise account directly to your AI agent. Enabling this integration turns your AI into an expert research assistant, capable of instantly scanning your entire timeline of book highlights, article snippets, tweet saves, and personal tags directly from your unified Readwise and Readwise Reader library.
What you can do
- Highlight Retrieval — Perform searches or bulk retrievals of every snippet, quote, or highlight you've ever saved from your Kindle, Apple Books, and web browsers.
- Library Browsing — Ask your AI to list all the books, articles, and sources currently populated in your Readwise database.
- Readwise Reader Documents — Full access to list and extract content directly from articles and feeds saved into your Readwise Reader app.
- Tag Management Analysis — Retrieve the categorizations and tags you use to organize your knowledge base system.
How it works
- Authorize the Readwise MCP server in your workspace.
- Provide your Readwise Access Token (generated directly from
readwise.io/access_token). - Chat with your AI to immediately start synthesizing ideas, drafting essays, or finding specific quotes from your personal reading history.
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Writers — Recall specific quotes from past books and synthesize notes into comprehensive research drafts without breaking focus.
- Students & Academics — Easily query your centralized highlights from PDFs or class reading materials to build study guides.
- Knowledge Workers — Transform casual web highlighting into an active second brain, allowing AI to connect ideas across different saved articles.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I obtain my Readwise Access Token?
You can quickly find or generate your specific access token by logging into your Readwise account and directly visiting https://readwise.io/access_token. Copy the alphanumeric token presented there and insert it directly into the prompt required by this integration.
Can the AI add native highlights or upload PDFs to Reader for me?
Currently, the integration server functions on a Read-Only standard format designed specifically to fetch existing knowledge. It fetches metadata or full-text values from highlights, tags, and Reader items, but it doesn't support publishing or updating new sources back to Readwise natively.
Does it also search through to my saved Readwise Reader feed?
Yes. Tools like list_reader_documents and get_reader_document are designated explicitly for extracting articles or stored reads directly residing inside your connected Readwise Reader account, keeping both typical highlights and Reader data separate but reachable.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Readwise tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
