MCP Setup Guide

Connect Reedle to Claude Desktop or Cursor in under 5 minutes. Once connected, your AI assistant can read, search, and manage your entire Reedle library.

Step 1 — Get a Personal Access Token

  1. Open Reedle and go to Settings → Integrations
  2. Under Claude MCP, click Generate token
  3. Copy the token — it starts with rdk_
  4. Store it safely — it's shown once but can be regenerated anytime

Step 2 — Add Reedle to your AI client

Paste this into your MCP configuration file, replacing the token placeholder:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reedle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://fhgxapmrciwlhsffdeyj.supabase.co/functions/v1/reedle-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_AUTH_TOKEN": "rdk_your_pat_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3 — Restart and verify

  1. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop or Cursor
  2. Look for the MCP tools icon (hammer icon) in the interface
  3. You should see reedle_list_articles and other Reedle tools listed
  4. Try: "List my last 5 saved articles"
