You can use the list_collections tool. It will retrieve all your existing collections, allowing the AI to show you how your bookmarks are organized.
Is it possible to retrieve an archived version of a saved link?
Yes! Use the get_archive tool with the specific Link ID. This will fetch the preserved archive file associated with that link.
Can I create a new collection directly through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the create_collection tool by providing a unique ID and the collection details in the payload.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
