Quick Start (One-Liners)

| Tool | One-Liner Command | | :----------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Gemini CLI | gemini extensions install https://github.com/adeze/raindrop-mcp | | Codex CLI | codex mcp add raindrop -- npx -y @adeze/raindrop-mcp | | Claude Code | claude mcp add raindrop -- npx -y @adeze/raindrop-mcp | | GitHub Copilot | gh copilot config mcp add raindrop -- npx -y @adeze/raindrop-mcp | | Vercel Skills | npx skills add adeze/raindrop-mcp |

Note: For tools adding an MCP server via npx, you must have the RAINDROP_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable set in your shell or the tool's environment config.

Vercel Skills (npx skills)

This project is compatible with the Vercel Skills system. All necessary manifests are present:

• manifest.json: Standard MCP manifest for server definition.
• SKILL.md: Standardized skill description for agent discovery.
• mcp.json: Root configuration for MCP clients and registries.

To add this server to your local skill directory:

npx skills add adeze/raindrop-mcp --global

To contribute this to the Vercel Skills Registry, submit a Pull Request adding this repository URL to the registry.

Claude Desktop (MCPB)

Download the latest raindrop-mcp.mcpb from the GitHub Release and add it to Claude Desktop:

• Releases: https://github.com/adeze/raindrop-mcp/releases

In Claude Desktop, add the bundle and set this environment variable:

• RAINDROP_ACCESS_TOKEN (from your Raindrop.io integrations settings)

NPX (CLI)

Set your API token as an environment variable and run:

export RAINDROP_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_RAINDROP_ACCESS_TOKEN
npx @adeze/raindrop-mcp

Manual MCP config (mcp.json)

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "raindrop": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@adeze/raindrop-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "RAINDROP_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_RAINDROP_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requirements

• A Raindrop.io account
• A Raindrop.io API Access Token: https://app.raindrop.io/settings/integrations

Support

• Issues: https://github.com/adeze/raindrop-mcp/issues

Release

This repository uses semantic-release as the only supported release flow.

How publishing works

• Releases run from pushes to master via .github/workflows/ci.yml.
• semantic-release analyzes Conventional Commit messages, computes the next version, updates CHANGELOG.md, tags/releases on GitHub, and publishes npm.
• During release preparation, .releaserc.json syncs manifest.json, mcp.json, and gemini-extension.json, then builds raindrop-mcp.mcpb so the GitHub Release includes the bundle.

Pre-release dry-run

• Run .github/workflows/release-dry-run.yml with Run workflow before cutting a public release.
• This validates semantic version calculation, registry auth, and release pipeline behavior without publishing.

Required secrets

• GITHUB_TOKEN is provided by GitHub Actions for release automation.

npm trusted publishing

• npm publishing is configured via GitHub Actions OIDC trusted publishing.
• NPM_TOKEN is not required for the standard CI release path.

Local validation before merge

bun run lint
bun run type-check
bun run test
bun run build

Commit message examples

• fix: handle empty tag merge payload
• feat: add collection path filter
• feat!: remove deprecated search parameter

Do not manually bump versions, push release tags, or run manual npm publish commands for normal releases.

📋 Recent Enhancements (v2.4.x)

Smart Organization & Hierarchy

• AI Suggestions: New get_suggestions tool provides organizational advice using Raindrop's API and MCP Sampling.
• Collection Tree: get_collection_tree tool provides a hierarchical view with full breadcrumb paths.
• Bulk Move: Added move operation to bulk_edit_raindrops for efficient library organization.
• Pagination Support: Standardized list_raindrops and bookmark_search with pagination for large libraries.

Safety & Quality

• Confirmation Logic: Destructive tools (empty_trash, cleanup_collections) now require explicit confirmation.
• Standardized Naming: All tools now use consistent snake_case naming conventions.
• CI/CD Pipeline: Enhanced GitHub Actions with automated linting, type-checking, and cross-transport tests.
• Code Quality: Established ESLint and Prettier configurations for maintainable development.

📋 Previous Enhancements (v2.3.2)

MCP Resource Links Implementation

• Modern resource content following current MCP SDK best practices
• Efficient data access: tools return lightweight links instead of full payloads
• Better performance: clients fetch full bookmark/collection data only when needed
• Seamless integration with dynamic resource system (mcp://raindrop/{id})

SDK & API Updates

• Updated to the latest supported MCP SDK in this repository
• Modern tool registration with improved descriptions
• Fixed API endpoints and path parameters
• All core tools fully functional

Tool Optimization

• Resource-efficient responses for bookmark/collection lists
• Dynamic resource access via mcp://collection/{id} and mcp://raindrop/{id}
• Better client UX with lighter list payloads
• Full MCP compliance with official SDK patterns

Service Layer Improvements

• Reduced code through extracted common helpers
• Consistent error handling and response processing
• Enhanced type safety with generic handlers
• Centralized endpoint building

Testing Improvements

• Stronger end-to-end coverage for MCP tool execution
• Expanded integration tests for real-world client flows

MCP 2.0 Preparation (Bulk Ops)

• Laying groundwork for MCP 2.0 bulk-operation workflows and tooling

OAuth (Coming Soon)

• OAuth-based auth flow to simplify setup without manual tokens
