Connect MCP Pocket to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. 🔗 Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for retrieving saved articles from Pocket API and loading them into Claude. The mcp pocket mcp server is what makes that connection.
This is a connector to allow Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) to fetch your saved articles from Pocket API.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
pocket_get_articles — Fetch your saved articles from Pocket API. Returns title, URL, and excerpt for each articlepocket_mark_as_read — Mark a specific article as read (archived) in your Pocket account using its item IDConfiguration is passed through the environment: POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY, POCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP Pocket's toolset — pocket_get_articles, pocket_mark_as_read — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kazuph; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
