Save and Search Bookmarks with Any AI Assistant
The Save This One MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT use your bookmark library on your behalf. Ask Claude to save a link, search for what you have read, or clean up your tags. Connect by adding the server URL, sign in with OAuth, free.
Connect Save This One to AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT. Once connected, your assistant can save links, search your library, manage tags, and organize bookmarks when you ask — scoped to your account through OAuth sign-in.
What your assistant can do
| Ask it to... | Tool used |
|---|---|
| "Save this article under reading-list" | save_bookmark |
| "What do I have about database indexing?" | search_bookmarks |
| "Show my bookmarks tagged react" | list_bookmarks |
| "Archive everything from that newsletter" | archive_bookmark |
| "Tag these three links with project-x" | tag_bookmarks |
| "Add a note: reread before the launch" | add_comment |
| "Which account is this connected to?" | whoami |
Saving uses the same pipeline as the web app: titles, descriptions, site names, and reading time are fetched automatically. Saving a URL that is already saved changes nothing.
Connect Claude Desktop
- Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector (or edit your MCP config).
- Add the Save This One MCP server URL:
https://mcp.savethisone.com/mcp - Claude will prompt you to sign in. A browser window opens with the Save This One OAuth screen — approve access.
- Start chatting: "search my bookmarks for postgres indexing tips."
Connect Cursor
- Open Cursor Settings → MCP & Integrations → New MCP Server.
- Add a server entry pointing at
https://mcp.savethisone.com/mcp. - Cursor opens the OAuth sign-in in your browser. Approve access.
- In any chat, ask: "save this link and tag it todo."
Connect ChatGPT
- Open ChatGPT Settings → Connectors → Create (developer mode).
- Point the connector at
https://mcp.savethisone.com/mcp. - Approve the OAuth sign-in when prompted.
- Ask: "what have I saved about onboarding flows?"
What the sign-in gives you
The OAuth screen is the same trusted sign-in you use for the web app. Approving it grants one connection access to your bookmarks only:
- Read and write access is scoped to your account — no other user's data is reachable.
- Destructive actions like
delete_bookmarkare marked destructive, so assistants confirm before using them. - You can revoke access anytime from your connected-apps settings, and the connection stops working immediately.
Troubleshooting
Tools do not appear. Check that the connector shows as signed in. If not, remove and re-add the server URL to restart the OAuth flow.
"Unauthorized" on every call. Your access token may have expired or been revoked. Reconnect the connector to get a fresh sign-in.
Assistant tries to fetch pages itself instead of saving. Remind it to use the save_bookmark tool — the description tells it when to save versus search, but a nudge helps.
