# Raindrop MCP Server This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Raindrop.io powered by the [Python MCP SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/tree/main). It provides an easy way to read and update your bookmarks from the Raindrop personal knowledge management system from Claude Desktop in simple, human language. This can be paired with the [Firecrawl MCP server](https://github.com/mendableai/firecrawl-mcp-server#) to read the URLs associated with your bookmarks and classify them accordingly. ## Requirements - Python 3.12+ - [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) package manager - [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/desktop) - A Raindrop.io account and API token ## Setup ### 1. Obtain a Raindrop API Token 1. Go to [Raindrop.io Developer Portal](https://app.raindrop.io/settings/integrations) 2. Create a new app 3. Copy your API token ### 2. Set Your API Token Set your Raindrop API token as an environment variable: 1. Create a .env file in the root directory 2. Add new line: ```RAINDROP_TOKEN="your_token_here"``` ## Development To run the server in development mode: ``` uv run mcp dev server.py ``` ## Installation To install the server to Claude Desktop: ``` uv run mcp install server.py ``` This will start the server locally and allow you to test changes. ## Features The server provides: - Access to your Raindrop collections and raindrop data through capabilities - Support for viewing root collections, child collections, or a specific collection by ID - Tools to create, update, and delete collections and raindrops - Tools to create and update new tags ## Example Queries After installing the server to Claude Desktop, you can ask Claude questions and commands like: - "Show me all my Raindrop collections" - "Do I have any collections related to programming?" - "Add this tag to all raindrops in this collection" - "Show me the details of my Raindrop collection with ID 12345" - "What child collections do I have in Raindrop?" - "Create a new Raindrop collection called 'Claude Resources'" Here is some example usage in Claude Desktop (paired with a Firecrawl MCP server): Input to Claude Desktop as the classificaiton system:  Output from Claude Desktop:  ## Tools The server provides the following MCP tools that let Claude Desktop perform actions on your Raindrop collections: ### create_collection Creates a new collection in Raindrop.io. **Parameters:** - `title` (required): Name of the collection - `view`: View type (list, grid, masonry, simple) - `public`: Whether the collection is public - `parent_id`: ID of parent collection (omit for root collection) ### update_collection Updates an existing collection in Raindrop.io. **Parameters:** - `collection_id` (required): ID of the collection to update - `title`: New name for the collection - `view`: View type (list, grid, masonry, simple) - `public`: Whether the collection is public - `parent_id`: ID of parent collection (omit for root collection) - `expanded`: Whether the collection is expanded ### delete_collection Deletes a collection from Raindrop.io. The raindrops will be moved to Trash. **Parameters:** - `collection_id` (required): ID of the collection to delete ### empty_trash Empties the trash in Raindrop.io, permanently deleting all raindrops in it. ### get_raindrop Gets a single raindrop from Raindrop.io by ID. **Parameters:** - `raindrop_id` (required): ID of the raindrop to fetch ### get_raindrops Gets multiple raindrops from a Raindrop.io collection. **Parameters:** - `collection_id` (required): ID of the collection to fetch raindrops from. Use 0 for all raindrops, -1 for unsorted, -99 for trash. - `search`: Optional search query - `sort`: Sorting order (options: -created, created, score, -sort, title, -title, domain, -domain) - `page`: Page number (starting from 0) - `perpage`: Items per page (max 50) - `nested`: Whether to include raindrops from nested collections ### get_tags Gets tags from Raindrop.io. **Parameters:** - `collection_id`: Optional ID of the collection to fetch tags from. When not specified, all tags from all collections will be retrieved. ### update_raindrop Updates an existing raindrop (bookmark) in Raindrop.io. **Parameters:** - `raindrop_id` (required): ID of the raindrop to update - `title`: New title for the raindrop - `excerpt`: New description/excerpt - `link`: New URL - `important`: Set to True to mark as favorite - `tags`: List of tags to assign - `collection_id`: ID of collection to move the raindrop to - `cover`: URL for the cover image - `type`: Type of the raindrop - `order`: Sort order (ascending) - set to 0 to move to first place - `pleaseParse`: Set to True to reparse metadata (cover, type) in the background ### update_many_raindrops Updates multiple raindrops at once within a collection. **Parameters:** - `collection_id` (required): ID of the collection containing raindrops to update - `ids`: Optional list of specific raindrop IDs to update - `important`: Set to True to mark as favorite, False to unmark - `tags`: List of tags to add (or empty list to remove all tags) - `cover`: URL for cover image (use '<screenshot>' to set screenshots for all) - `target_collection_id`: ID of collection to move raindrops to - `nested`: Include raindrops from nested collections - `search`: Optional search query to filter which raindrops to update ## Dependencies Please see `pyproject.toml` for dependancies.
