Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Readwise, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Readwise. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Readwise owners ask.

  • 01

    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.

  • 02

    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.

  • 03

    Does it also search through to my saved Readwise Reader feed?

    Yes. Capabilities 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.
