MCP-сервер Readwise (выделения и заметки из чтения).

Readwise MCP (Deprecated)

This MCP server is deprecated. Please use the new Readwise MCP server instead: readwise.io/mcp

The new server is hosted — no local installation needed. It supports both Readwise and Reader data, and works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible app.

Migration

Replace your existing claude_desktop_config.json entry with the new server. Setup instructions for all clients are at readwise.io/mcp.

If you also want CLI access and agent skills, see readwise.io/cli.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Readwise MCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@readwise/readwise-mcp"
      ],

  }
}

Troubleshooting

For general troubleshooting guidance, please refer to the official Model Context Protocol Claude Desktop Troubleshooting section.

"Could not attach to MCP server Readwise MCP"

A very likely reason for this to happen is that you have an incorrect npx/Node version set up. If you're using nvm, try running nvm use 18 in your terminal. If not, consider reinstalling Node.

Errors when calling Readwise tools

When using this MCP server, you may occasionally encounter MCP errors during your conversations with Claude. If you experience such errors, we recommend trying to switch between different Claude models (e.g., from Claude 3.5 Haiku to Claude 3.7 Sonnet) as this often resolves the issue.
