MCP & CLI Tools

When you've saved a lot of documents and annotated a lot of books, the knowledge management sometimes starts to feel overwhelming. Readwise's AI tools can help you actually use the content you've accumulated and help make sense of the chaos.

Using the MCP server or the CLI, you can connect your AI tool of choice to your full Readwise and Reader libraries — your highlights, notes, saved articles, newsletters, and more — so you can ask questions, surface forgotten ideas, triage your reading queue, and take action on your content directly from your AI app.

Whether you prefer a GUI-based AI app like Claude or ChatGPT or a terminal-based agent like Claude Code or Codex, these tools can help you set up a system that works for you.

MCP Server

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI access to your Readwise and Reader data.

CLI

Search, read, and organize your library from the command line. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, and any AI agent.

Usage Examples

Ready-to-use prompts for triaging your inbox, getting a weekly digest, quizzing yourself, and more.
