View original on GitHub

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

Prerequisites

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

Quick Start

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:

Open Claude Desktop
Click Claude on the Mac menu bar
Click “Settings”
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"
      }
    }
  }
}
