How to Set Up and Use Raindrop.io
Raindrop.io MCP Server connects AI assistants to your Raindrop.io bookmark library via the Model Context Protocol, enabling you to create new bookmarks with tags and collection assignments and to search your existing bookmarks by keyword or tag — all through natural-language prompts in Claude Desktop or other MCP clients. It authenticates through Raindrop.io's API using a personal access token and exposes a lightweight, focused set of tools for reading and writing your bookmark collection without opening a browser.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- A Raindrop.io account with a personal access token (created at https://app.raindrop.io/settings/integrations)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- The raindrop-io-mcp-server repository cloned locally (for manual setup)
Generate a Raindrop.io API token
Log in to Raindrop.io and navigate to Settings > Integrations > Create new app to generate a personal access token. Copy the token — this is your RAINDROP_TOKEN.
Install via Smithery (quickest path)
Use the Smithery CLI to install the server and auto-configure Claude Desktop in one step.
npx -y @smithery/cli install @hiromitsusasaki/raindrop-io-mcp-server --client claudeOr clone and build manually
If you prefer a manual setup, clone the repository and build it with npm.
git clone https://github.com/hiromitsusasaki/raindrop-io-mcp-server.git
cd raindrop-io-mcp-server
npm install && npm run buildConfigure Claude Desktop manually
Add the raindrop server block to your Claude Desktop config file, setting the RAINDROP_TOKEN environment variable to your personal access token.

}Restart Claude Desktop and test
Restart Claude Desktop to load the new server configuration, then ask Claude to search your bookmarks or create a new one to verify the connection.

}Prompts to try
Natural-language prompts you can use with Claude once the server is connected to your Raindrop.io account.
- "Save https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html with the tags 'architecture' and 'reading-list'"
- "Find all my bookmarks tagged with 'productivity'"
- "Search my Raindrop library for articles about TypeScript type narrowing"
- "Create a bookmark for https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python in my 'Dev Tools' collection"
- "Find bookmarks tagged 'research' and summarize the titles"Troubleshooting Raindrop.io
API returns 401 Unauthorized
Check that RAINDROP_TOKEN is set to a valid personal access token from https://app.raindrop.io/settings/integrations. Tokens can be revoked and regenerated from that page.
search-bookmarks returns no results even though bookmarks exist
The search tool queries Raindrop.io's API, which indexes bookmark content. Ensure your search query matches keywords in bookmark titles or tags, and try a broader single-word query to verify connectivity.
create-bookmark fails with a collection ID error
Collection IDs in Raindrop.io are numeric. You can find a collection's ID in the URL when viewing it in the browser (e.g., app.raindrop.io/collection/12345). Use 0 for the default unsorted collection.
