Raindrop MCP

Overview

Raindrop MCP exposes the Raindrop.io API as an MCP server, so Claude and other MCP clients can search bookmarks, create new ones, manage collection trees, and clean up tags conversationally instead of through the Raindrop UI.

I built it because most of my “save for later” links live in Raindrop, and being able to ask “find me everything I saved about Postgres last year and tag it db” is much faster than clicking through the web app.

How Raindrop MCP works: an MCP client like Claude calls the Raindrop MCP Server over stdio, which exposes bookmark, collection, tag, and highlight tools backed by the Raindrop.io API

Features

Create, search, update, delete bookmarks
Browse and manage nested collections
List, merge, rename, and clean up tags
Pull metadata from any URL (title, description, og-image)
Raindrop’s full search syntax (#tag, site:, type:, etc.)
Field filtering so responses stay small
Bulk operations for tag-rewrite migrations
