mcp-pocket

This is a connector to allow Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) to fetch your saved articles from Pocket API.

• Node.js (install via brew install node)
• Claude Desktop (install from https://claude.ai/desktop)
• Pocket API credentials

1. Modify your Claude Desktop config located here: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

You can easily find this through the Claude Desktop menu:

1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Click Claude on the Mac menu bar
3. Click "Settings"
4. Click "Developer"

If you don't have this config, you can create an empty file at this location.

Add the following to the config file, replacing the credentials with your own:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pocket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@kazuph/mcp-pocket"],
      "env": {
        "POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY": "your-pocket-consumer-key",
        "POCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-pocket-access-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

1. Clone this repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/kazuph/mcp-pocket.git
cd mcp-pocket
npm install

2. For development, use this configuration instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pocket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/path/to/mcp-pocket/index.ts"],
      "env": {
        "POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY": "your-pocket-consumer-key",
        "POCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-pocket-access-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
