Raindrop.Mcp.DotNet 0.1.3-beta

Raindrop.io MCP Server

This package provides a .NET-based MCP server for interacting with your Raindrop.io bookmarks using natural language.

It allows you to connect AI clients, like the one in Visual Studio Code, to manage your bookmarks through simple chat commands.

Setup and Configuration

You can connect your client to the server in two ways:

1. DNX (Recommended): The client dynamically downloads and runs the server from NuGet. This is the easiest way to get started and ensures you are always running the latest version.
2. Global Tool: The server is installed as a .NET global tool and run as a standalone command. This is a stable, versioned alternative.

Recommended: DNX Setup

The DNX method dynamically downloads and runs the tool from NuGet, which requires the .NET 10 SDK (preview) or a later version.

This is the easiest way to get started and ensures you are always running the latest version.

Step 1: Get Your Raindrop.io API Token

To access your account, the server needs a secure API token.

1. Navigate to the For Developers section in your Raindrop.io settings.
2. Click + Create new app, give it a name (e.g., "My MCP Client"), and click Create.
3. Under the Test token section, click Create to generate a new token.
4. Copy the token. You will need it for the next step.

Step 2: Connect Your Client

Configure your MCP-compatible client to launch the server using dnx. This allows the client to manage the download, update, and execution process.

Below is an example for the VS Code Copilot Agent:

1. Open VS Code Settings (File > Preferences > Settings) and search for "mcp".

2. Click the Edit in settings.json link for the MCP configuration.

3. Add the following server configuration to your mcp.json file:

   {
     "servers": {
       "RaindropMcp": {
         "type": "stdio",
         "command": "dnx",
         "args": [
           "Raindrop.Mcp.DotNet",
           "--prerelease",
           "--yes"
         ],
         "env": {
           "Raindrop:ApiToken": "PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
           "Raindrop:BaseUrl": "https://api.raindrop.io/rest/v1"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

4. Replace PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with the API token you copied from Raindrop.io.

Alternative: Global Tool Setup

This is the traditional method for installing versioned .NET tools.

Step 1: Install the Tool

Install the server as a global .NET tool:

dotnet tool install --global Raindrop.Mcp.DotNet --version 0.1.1-beta

Step 2: Get Your Raindrop.io API Token

Follow the same token generation steps outlined in the DNX setup.

Step 3: Connect Your Client

Add the following server configuration to your mcp.json file:

{
  "servers": {
    "RaindropMcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "Mcp",
      "env": {
        "Raindrop:ApiToken": "PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
        "Raindrop:BaseUrl": "https://api.raindrop.io/rest/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace PASTE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your API token.

Manage Your Bookmarks

Once configured, you can interact with your bookmarks through your AI client.

Example Prompt (VS Code):

@RaindropMcp Find my bookmark about 'Gemini CLI' and add the tag '#ai-tool' to it.

The client will automatically start the server to handle your request. Enjoy managing your bookmarks!
