Markpin MCP server

Source of @markpin/mcp 0.7.1: an MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor and other AI clients search and read the web pages and highlights you saved with Markpin, a Chrome extension that keeps them as Markdown files in a folder you own.

Usage and setup: mcp-server/README.md.

  • mcp-server/ — the server (stdio, read-only unless --allow-write).
  • shared/ — the Markpin file format (parse/serialize), also used by the extension. Bundled into the npm package.
  • glama.json, glama/Dockerfile — for the Glama directory only.

This repository is published from Markpin's main repository on every release, so pull requests are applied there by hand. Issues are welcome here.
