## Prerequisites
- Node.js (install via `brew install node`)
- Claude Desktop (install from https://claude.ai/desktop)
- Pocket API credentials
## Quick Start
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:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pocket": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@kazuph/mcp-pocket"],
"env": {
"POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY": "your-pocket-consumer-key",
"POCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-pocket-access-token"
}
}
}
}
```
## Development Setup
1. Clone this repository and install dependencies:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kazuph/mcp-pocket.git
cd mcp-pocket
npm install
```
2. For development, use this configuration instead:
```json
{
"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"
}
}
}
}
```
### Development Commands
```bash
# Build TypeScript
npm run build
# Watch mode for development
npm run watch
# Publish to npm
npm login
npm publish
```
## Available Commands
The following MCP tools will be available in Claude Desktop:
- `pocket_get_articles`: Fetch your saved articles from Pocket API. Returns title, URL, and excerpt for each article.
- `pocket_mark_as_read`: Mark a specific article as read (archived) in your Pocket account using its item ID.
## Getting Pocket API Credentials
For detailed instructions on obtaining your Pocket API credentials, please refer to [Issue #2](https://github.com/kazuph/mcp-pocket/issues/2).
Quick steps:
1. Create a new app at [Pocket Developer Portal](https://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new)
2. Follow the authentication process to get your Consumer Key and Access Token

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one fetches unread articles, while the other marks articles as read. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to select the correct tool based on the desired action.
Both tools follow a consistent 'pocket_verb_noun' pattern, using snake_case and starting with the server domain prefix. This predictability aids in tool identification and usage.
With only two tools, the server feels thin for a Pocket API integration. While it covers fetching and marking articles, it lacks operations like adding articles, managing tags, or retrieving read articles, which are core to the Pocket domain.
The toolset is severely incomplete for a Pocket API server. It misses essential operations such as adding articles to Pocket, retrieving read articles, managing tags, and deleting articles, leaving significant gaps that will hinder agent workflows.
