A Model Context Protocol server for managing web bookmarks — cross-device sync, categories, tags, full-text search, batch operations, and team sharing. 20 tools with auto-registration so no manual setup is required.

📖 Usage patterns and best practices → URL Manager Skill

Tools

Registration & Identity

• agent_register() Create a new account. No parameters. Token is auto-applied for all subsequent calls. ⚠️ Call once only — each invocation creates a fresh account.

• my_info() Verify connection and token validity. Returns username and membership status.

Bookmarks

• search_footprints(query, limit, offset) Full-text search across titles, descriptions, and URLs.

  • query (required) — Search keywords

  • limit — Results per page (default 10, max 100)

  • offset — Pagination offset (default 0)

• list_footprints(category_id, limit, offset) List bookmarks by category. category_id=0 returns all.

  • limit — Results per page (default 20, max 100)

  • offset — Pagination offset (default 0)

• get_footprint(footprint_id) Get full details of a single bookmark.

  • footprint_id (required) — From list_footprints or search_footprints results (field id)

• add_footprint(url, title, description, category_ids, tag_names) Add a new bookmark. Call list_categories() and list_tags() first to discover existing structure.

  • url (required) — Web page URL

  • title — Leave empty to auto-extract from the page

  • description — Summary or notes

  • category_ids — Comma-separated IDs, e.g. "1,3"

  • tag_names — Comma-separated names, e.g. "AI,tutorial"

• update_footprint(footprint_id, title, description, category_ids, tag_names) Update a bookmark. Omitted fields stay unchanged. ⚠️ category_ids replaces the entire list — not append. Call get_footprint() first, then merge IDs.

  • footprint_id (required) — From search or list results

Categories & Tags

• list_categories() List all categories (personal + shared). Returns id, name, and mode fields. mode=null → personal; mode="cocreate"/"subscribe" → shared.

• create_category(name, category_set_id) Create a new category. Check list_categories() first to avoid duplicates.

  • name (required) — Category name

  • category_set_id — Parent category set (0 = default)

• list_tags() List all tags used by this account.

Category Sets

• list_category_sets() List all category sets.

• create_category_set(name) Create a new category set (a container of categories).

  • name (required) — Category set name

Shared Categories

• create_shared_category(name, mode, description) Create a shared category for team collaboration.

  • name (required)

  • mode (required) — "cocreate" (multiple editors) or "subscribe" (read-only)

  • description — Optional description ⚠️ In subscribe mode, adding bookmarks returns 403. Use "cocreate" for editable collaboration.

• create_invite_link(shared_category_id, duration_hours) Generate an invite link for others to join.

  • shared_category_id (required) — From list_categories() (shared entries)

  • duration_hours — Default 24

• join_shared_category(invite_code) Join a shared category by invite code.

  • invite_code (required) — 8-character code from the invite link

• add_to_shared_category(shared_category_id, footprint_id) Add one of your own bookmarks to a shared category.

  • Both parameters required

• remove_from_shared_category(shared_category_id, footprint_id) Remove a bookmark from a shared category. Does not delete the bookmark itself.

  • Both parameters required

• copy_footprint(footprint_id, category_ids) Copy a bookmark from a shared category into your personal collection.

  • Both parameters required

Batch & Delivery

• batch_update_footprints(updates) Bulk edit up to 50 bookmarks at once.

  • updates (required) — JSON string: [{"id":"...", "title":"New Title", "category_ids":"1,3"}, ...] Each object may contain title, description, category_ids, tag_names; id is required.

• agent_magic_link() Generate a delivery link. Send to the user — they open it to see a card-based interface with all their organized bookmarks. Valid for 30 days, reusable.

Why URL Manager

Browser bookmarks are flat lists with no organization, no search, and no sharing. URL Manager adds:

• Categories, category sets, and tags — Hierarchical organization

• Full-text search — Find anything across all titles, descriptions, and URLs

• Cross-device sync — Save on one device, access on all

• Batch management — Sort and organize hundreds of links at once

• Team sharing — Co-editing and read-only shared collections with invite links

• Card-based delivery — Send organized collections as a polished interface, not raw URLs
