How to Set Up and Use WeRead

The WeRead MCP Server connects AI assistants to Tencent's WeRead (微信读书) platform, giving users the ability to access their personal bookshelf, search books, retrieve highlights and notes, and browse popular reviews — all through natural language. It authenticates via WeRead session cookies and exposes four focused tools that make reading data available inside any MCP-compatible client. Readers who annotate books heavily in WeRead can use this server to query their highlights, summarize chapters, or export notes into other tools without leaving their AI assistant.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or later installed
  • A WeRead (微信读书) account with an active session cookie, or a CookieCloud instance for automatic cookie sync
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
1

Obtain your WeRead session cookie

Log in to WeRead in your browser, open DevTools (F12), go to the Application tab, and copy the full cookie string from the weread.qq.com domain. Alternatively, set up CookieCloud for automatic sync.

2

Install the server via npm

The package is published as mcp-server-weread on npm. Install it globally or use npx for on-demand execution.

npm install -g mcp-server-weread
# or run directly without installing:
npx -y mcp-server-weread
3

Configure environment variables

Choose one authentication method: direct cookie via WEREAD_COOKIE, or CookieCloud automatic sync via CC_URL, CC_ID, and CC_PASSWORD. CookieCloud takes priority if both are set.

# Option 1: Direct cookie
export WEREAD_COOKIE="vid=...; wr_gid=...; ...full cookie string..."

# Option 2: CookieCloud
export CC_URL=https://cc.chenge.ink
export CC_ID=your-uuid
export CC_PASSWORD=your-password
4

Add the server to your MCP client

Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file to register the WeRead MCP server with your chosen authentication environment variables.

5

Restart your MCP client and verify

Restart Claude Desktop (or your MCP client) to pick up the new configuration, then ask Claude to list your bookshelf to confirm the connection is working.

WeRead Examples

Client configuration

Add mcp-server-weread to Claude Desktop using a direct WeRead cookie for authentication.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-weread": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-weread"],
      "env": {
        "WEREAD_COOKIE": "your_full_weread_cookie_string"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Ask Claude to interact with your WeRead library using natural language.

- "Show me all the books on my WeRead bookshelf"
- "Search my WeRead library for books about system design"
- "Get all my highlights and notes from Atomic Habits"
- "What are the most popular reviews for the book I'm currently reading?"

Troubleshooting WeRead

Authentication fails with an invalid cookie error

WeRead session cookies expire. Log back in to WeRead in your browser and copy a fresh cookie string. If using CookieCloud, trigger a manual sync to refresh the stored cookies.

get_book_notes_and_highlights returns empty results

Ensure you have actually highlighted or annotated the book in the WeRead app. The tool only returns content you have personally marked — it does not return the full book text.

Server fails to start with MODULE_NOT_FOUND error

Run `npx -y mcp-server-weread` instead of the global install to ensure the correct package name is used. The npm package is mcp-server-weread, not weread.
