Kiseki-Labs-Readwise-MCP

Overview

Kiseki-Labs-Readwise-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server designed to interact with the Readwise API.

It allows language models to access and manipulate your Readwise documents and highlights programmatically. This server is developed by Kiseki Labs.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone <your-repository-url>
cd readwise_mcp

Initialise dependencies with uv (Assuming you have uv installed)
```
uv sync
```

Configuration

This server requires a Readwise API key to function.

Obtain your API key from Readwise.
Create a .env file in the root directory of the project.
Add your API key to the .env file:
```
READWISE_API_KEY=your_readwise_api_key_here
```
The server uses python-dotenv to automatically load this variable when run.

Available Tools

The server exposes the following tools for interaction:

find_readwise_document_by_name(document_name: str) -> Book | None: Finds a specific document in Readwise by its exact name.
list_readwise_documents_by_filters(document_category: str = "", from_date: Optional[date] = None, to_date: Optional[date] = None) -> List[Book]: Lists documents based on category (e.g., 'books', 'articles') and/or a date range. Requires at least one filter.
get_readwise_highlights_by_document_ids(document_ids: List[int]) -> List[Highlight]: Retrieves all highlights associated with a list of specific document IDs.
get_readwise_highlights_by_filters(from_date: Optional[date] = None, to_date: Optional[date] = None, tag_names: List[str] = []) -> List[Highlight]: Fetches highlights based on a date range and/or a list of tags. Requires at least one filter.

(Note: Book and Highlight refer to the data structures defined in the readwise_mcp.types module.)

Running the Server

Development Mode

To run the MCP server in dev mode, execute the following command from the project's root directory:

uv run mcp dev server.py

The dev server will start and become accessible online by default on http://127.0.0.1:6274/ if you haven't modified the host and port.

Installing the MCP Server with Claude

On MacBook open the file below in your favourite text editor:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

For instance using vim open this file you can run the command:

vim ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Then add the appropriate entry under the mcpServers object, like in the example below:

"mcpServers": {
    "Kiseki-Labs-Readwise-MCP": {
      "command": "/Users/eddie/.pyenv/shims/uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "fastmcp",
        "fastmcp",
        "run",
        "/Users/eddie/Development/AI/mcp_servers/readwise_mcp/server.py"
      ]
    }
    ...

Save the file with those changes. Finally, restart Claude. After restart, the Kiseki-Labs-Readwise-MCP MCP Server should be available.
