Short answer

How can I clean up my Pocket library with AI?

You can tell your AI to find specific groups of unread links and either archive or delete them in bulk. This lets you clear out old clutter without clicking every single item manually. Here is how it works.

Where your links land.

The results of your commands.

Your AI moves or removes items based on the criteria you set.

ARCHIVE

Hidden from view

The AI moves items to your archive. This keeps your main list clean while keeping the links accessible if you need them later.

DELETE

Gone for good

The AI removes items permanently. Use this for old links or junk you know you'll never read again.

LIST

Review your items

The AI pulls a list of your saved content. This helps you see what's actually in there before you decide to clear it out.

MANUAL

Human review

You decide which items fit your criteria. The AI identifies the targets, but you control the final decision on what stays or goes.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask to clean up.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning and selecting items so you don't have to.

  1. Scan your list

    The AI looks through your saved content to see what you have stored.

  2. Identify targets

    The AI finds the specific links that match your description, like old articles or specific topics.

    list_saved_items

  3. Clear the clutter

    The AI moves the selected items into your archive to get them out of your sight.

    archive_pocket_item

  4. Remove junk

    The AI permanently wipes the items you no longer want from your account.

FAQ

How the Pocket cleanup behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete items on its own?

    No. The AI only deletes items when you explicitly tell it to do so through a command.

  • 02

    Will this change my Pocket tags?

    No. This MCP only handles listing, archiving, and deleting items.

  • 03

    Can I undo a deletion?

    No. Once the AI uses the delete tool, those items are permanently removed from your Pocket account.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which items to archive?

    It uses the list of your saved items to find matches for the specific descriptions or topics you provide in your prompt.

  • 05

    Does the AI see my browser history?

    No. It only has access to the items currently saved in your Pocket library.
