Connect AI assistants
AI is more useful when it works from information you’ve chosen and trust. Bredbox’s MCP server lets AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol — Claude, and a growing list of other clients — search, read, and organize your library on your behalf: “find that sourdough article I saved last month and add it to my Baking collection.”
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”You need the Pro plan, which includes developer features. See Manage your plan and data.
Connect a client
Section titled “Connect a client”- Open Settings → MCP Server.
- Copy the Server URL:
https://mcp.bredbox.app/mcp. - Add it wherever your AI client configures MCP servers (in Claude, add it as a connector).
- The first time the client connects, Bredbox opens a consent screen in your browser — approve it, and the connection is live.
What a connected assistant can do
Section titled “What a connected assistant can do”Out of the box, connections are granted read and write access to saves, tags, and collections — enough to search your library, fetch article content, create and update saves, and manage collections.
Deliberately not included up front: anything destructive. The first time a client tries a higher-risk action — moving saves to Trash, deleting collections — Bredbox asks you to approve that separately. And MCP clients can never permanently delete saves: everything they trash stays recoverable for 30 days.
Things to try
Section titled “Things to try”- “What did I save about typography this year? Summarize the three best pieces.”
- “Save these five links and tag them all
conference.” - “Go through my Inbox and suggest which saves belong in my Research collection.”
Review or revoke access
Section titled “Review or revoke access”Connected AI clients appear in Settings → Applications alongside your other authorized apps. Disconnect one there at any time — access ends immediately.
