Readwise MCP

Readwise collects your highlights from Kindle, articles, PDFs and podcasts, and Reader is its read-later app. This official connector gives Claude your whole library, so you can ask "what have I saved about pricing psychology?" and get answers from things you've actually read.

It's in Claude's connector directory, so on the web or desktop you add it under Settings > Connectors. In Claude Code, run the command below, type /mcp, choose readwise and sign in.

It's handy for writing: ask Claude to draft a newsletter from your highlights on a topic and it quotes your own sources.

• Search your highlights and saved articles by meaning, not just keywords
• Pull every highlight on a topic into a summary or draft
• Save new articles and documents to Reader
• Tag, move and organise documents in your library
• Get today's Daily Review

Open your terminal (the text window where you run Claude Code) in your project folder, then paste this command to connect it:

claude mcp add --transport http readwise https://mcp2.readwise.io/mcp

The first time you use it, you'll be asked to sign in or paste an API key (a private code from the app that lets Claude use your account).
