How to Set Up and Use Bookmark Manager
The Bookmark Manager MCP Server is a lightweight TypeScript server that gives AI assistants persistent, categorized bookmark storage accessible across sessions. It exposes MCP resources for browsing bookmarks by category (bookmarks://all, bookmarks://mcp, bookmarks://general, and custom categories), plus tools for adding, listing, and searching bookmarks stored in a local JSON file. Developers and researchers use it to maintain a curated link library that Claude and other MCP clients can reference or update during conversations.
Prerequisites
- Docker (recommended) or Node.js 22+ and pnpm for local development
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code with Copilot, or Cursor
- Write access to ~/.data directory for persistent bookmark storage
Pull the Docker image
Pull the pre-built Docker image from Docker Hub. This is the easiest way to get started without a local Node.js setup.
docker pull mindriftfall2infinitepiio/bookmark-manager-mcp:latestAdd the server to Claude Code
Register the bookmark manager with Claude Code using the docker run command, mounting ~/.data for persistent storage.
claude mcp add bookmark-manager -- docker run --rm --interactive \
--volume ~/.data:/app/.data \
mindriftfall2infinitepiio/bookmark-manager-mcp:latestVerify the server is available
Start Claude Code and confirm the bookmark-manager server appears in the connected MCP servers list.
claude mcp listAdd your first bookmark
Test the integration by asking Claude to add a bookmark via the MCP tool.
# In Claude Code:
claude @bookmark-manager add bookmark for GitHub at https://github.comBookmark Manager Examples

Example prompts for managing bookmarks through your AI assistant.
- "Add a bookmark titled 'FastMCP Docs' for https://fastmcp.com in the mcp category"
- "List all my bookmarks in the development category"
- "Show me all saved bookmarks"
- "Do I have any bookmarks related to TypeScript?"
- "Add the Pixeltable GitHub repo to my bookmarks under the ai-tools category"Troubleshooting Bookmark Manager
Bookmarks are lost between sessions
Ensure the --volume ~/.data:/app/.data flag is included in the Docker run command. Without this mount, the container's /app/.data is ephemeral and discarded when the container exits.
Docker command not found when running via Claude Code
Claude Code needs Docker to be in the system PATH. On macOS, ensure Docker Desktop is running and that /usr/local/bin/docker or /usr/bin/docker is accessible. Restart Claude Code after starting Docker Desktop.
bookmarks://category resource returns empty results
Categories are created automatically when bookmarks are added with that category. Add at least one bookmark with the target category before querying it as a resource.
