Linkwarden MCP. Manage web archives and knowledge base from chat.

You connect your private web archive directly to your agent, treating every saved bookmark, article, and webpage like a structured knowledge base you can talk to. The system gives you full control over link records and collections without ever touching a browser. You'll find that the core function of this server is managing links—you can create new bookmarks using create_link, or pull all stored details for any single bookmark ID with get_link.

If you need to adjust an existing entry, you use update_link to change descriptions or tags; and if you've got a bunch of changes for multiple links, bulk_update_links handles adding or changing tags and collections for them all at once. To organize your bookmarks into logical groups, the agent lets you see every folder with list_collections, create an empty folder using create_collection, or change that folder's name or properties by calling update_collection.

You can also delete a whole group of links permanently using delete_collection. Getting details on any specific grouping is easy; simply requesting the collection ID runs get_collection.

When it comes to preserving content, you don't just get a link—you get an archive. The system retrieves the full preserved file for a given link ID with get_archive, guaranteeing access even if the original site goes belly-up. If you want to make sure the data is current, you can force an update of a link's archive files by running archive_link.

You can also upload local backups; either upload_standalone_archive takes a file and automatically makes it a new record, or if you just need to supplement an existing entry, you use upload_archive_for_link. For quick access, the agent generates a temporary URL token via get_preserved_token, letting you view archived content for a limited time.

You can even stream a live, preserved view of the webpage itself using stream_preserved_view.

You don't just save links; you annotate them. The system lets you add or update specific notes and highlights on an existing page’s content by calling create_highlight. To see everything noted down for one link, run get_link_highlights, and if you need to remove old notes, delete_highlight clears out a set of highlights or notes you previously added.

For managing public sharing settings, you can pull all links from a collection that's marked as public using get_public_collection_links, or retrieve the tags applied to a specific public-facing folder with get_public_collection_tags. You can also see which RSS feeds are subscribed to by calling list_rss.

Need an overview of your library? The agent fetches structured data about all your saved content, giving you dashboard metrics using both the older format (get_dashboard_v1) and the newest, detailed structure with get_dashboard_v2. If you need to change how that dashboard looks or behaves, update_dashboard_v2 handles those rules. You can also get the public settings and runtime configuration for your entire Linkwarden instance via get_config, and if there are login details floating around, get_logins retrieves them.

Handling user accounts is straightforward. If you forget your password, the system sends a reset email using auth_forgot_password; then you can change it with a secure token by calling auth_reset_password. To confirm that an email address belongs to the account, run auth_verify_email. For moving or backing up your data, you pull all user info—including collections and links—into export format using get_migration, and when you're ready to restore it on a new instance, you process that data with import_migration.
