# Edge Favorites MCP Server
A local MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that reads your Microsoft Edge browser favorites and lets you search them via an AI agent.
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `search_favorites` | Search bookmarks by keyword (matches name, URL, and folder) |
| `list_favorites` | List all bookmarks, optionally filtered by folder |
| `list_folders` | List all unique folder paths |
## Installation
### From GitHub Release
1. Download the latest `-bundled.tar.gz` from [Releases](https://github.com/danespinosa/edge-favorites-mcp/releases)
2. Extract it somewhere on your machine
3. Add to your MCP config (see below)
### From Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/danespinosa/edge-favorites-mcp.git
cd edge-favorites-mcp
npm install
```
## MCP Configuration
Add this to your MCP client config (e.g. `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"edge-favorites": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/edge-favorites-mcp/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
## How It Works
The server reads the Edge Bookmarks JSON file and exposes search/list tools over the MCP stdio protocol. Bookmarks are read fresh on each request so new favorites are always picked up.
By default, it reads bookmarks from:
```
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
```

Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clear, distinct purpose: listing favorites (optionally filtered by folder), listing folders, reading content of a favorite's URL, and searching favorites. There is no ambiguity or overlap between them.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (list_favorites, list_folders, read_favorite_content, search_favorites), making it easy for an agent to infer functionality.
With 4 tools, the server is well-scoped for browsing and searching Edge favorites. Each tool serves a distinct need without unnecessary redundancy or missing essential operations for the stated purpose.
The tools cover core exploration use cases (list, search, read content) but lack editing capabilities (add, delete, update favorites). For a read-only exploration server, this is a minor gap; however, full CRUD would be more complete.
