Semantic search across everything you saved
Claude can search your library by meaning, not just keywords. Ask for "quotes about attention residue" and it pulls the passages that match, across books, articles, tweets, and videos.
Claude integration
Use Claude on everything
you have ever highlighted
Connect your Screvi library to Claude in 30 seconds. Ask questions, draft with real quotes from books and articles you saved, and rescue passages you half-remember from years ago.
Included with Screvi. Works in Claude web, desktop, and mobile.
Your reading starts pulling its weight
Most of what you highlight ends up sitting there. You save a quote, move on, and never see it again unless you go digging for it.
Claude with your Screvi library closes that loop. Your highlights stop being a pile you do not open and become material Claude can reach for while you are actually thinking about something (a blog post you are drafting, an argument you are refining, a half-remembered line from a book you read two years ago).
Screvi finds the material, Claude helps you think with it.
What Claude can do with your library
Four tools exposed over the Model Context Protocol, wrapped in OAuth so it stays private and read-only.
Pulls the full source when you need it
Claude can fetch an entire book or article with every highlight you saved from it, so it can summarize a source, draft from one, or compare passages within it.
Highlights arrive with your notes and tags
When Claude retrieves a highlight it gets the note you attached and the tags you gave it. Your annotations shape the answer, not just the raw text.
Search saved articles by title, author, or domain
Read-it-later content is queryable the same way. Filter by author, publication, or reading status to pull exactly the articles you want Claude to reason over.
OAuth 2.0, read only, revocable
Authorization goes through Screvi login with OAuth 2.0 and PKCE, so Claude never sees your password. Access is read only, and you can disconnect from Claude settings at any time.
Works with any MCP client
The connector follows the open Model Context Protocol standard. Works in Claude today, and in any other MCP-compatible assistant or agent that lets you add a server.
How to set it up
Three steps, about 30 seconds. You need a Screvi account and a Claude account.
The MCP Server URL you will paste into Claude:
Step 1
Open the custom connector dialog in Claude
In Claude settings, go to Connectors and click "Add custom connector". This is a one-click link, no CLI or config files involved.
Step 2
Paste the Screvi MCP URL
Name it Screvi and paste the server URL into the MCP Server URL field. Claude will validate it and show the Screvi login screen.
Step 3
Authorize with your Screvi account
Log in and approve. Claude gets read-only access to your library. Start a new chat and ask Claude anything about what you have saved.
Prompts to try once you are connected
The fun starts when you ask Claude something that would be tedious to answer yourself. Each one uses material already in your library, just buried.
What have I highlighted about pricing? Group by theme and cite the source.
Turns scattered passages into a structured brief you can actually use.
Find contradictions across the business books I have read.
Claude cross-references authors in your library to surface real tensions.
Draft a blog post about deep work using only ideas I have already highlighted.
Writing grounded in your own reading, with direct quotes and attribution.
I half-remember a quote about rivers and attention from a couple of years ago. Find it.
Semantic search rescues the passage you cannot quite recall.
Summarize what the Kahneman book in my library says about loss aversion.
Claude pulls the full source with every highlight and reasons over the lot.
Claude with and without your library
Claude is a great model. With your highlights wired in, it stops guessing what you have read and starts reasoning over it.
| Area | Claude alone | Claude + Screvi |
|---|---|---|
| What Claude sees | Only its training data, cut off at a fixed date | Your highlights from books, articles, tweets, and videos |
| Where quotes come from | Paraphrased or hallucinated from training data | Actual passages you saved, with source attribution |
| Context for drafting | Generic advice disconnected from your thinking | Prose that reflects what you have read and marked up |
| Setup | Copy-paste your notes into the chat every time | One-time connector, 30 seconds, persists across chats |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol is an open standard (created by Anthropic) that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources. Screvi runs an MCP server that exposes your highlights and articles, so Claude (or any other MCP-compatible client) can read them.
What does Claude have access to?
Read-only access to your highlights, the sources they come from (books, podcasts, videos), and your saved articles, along with your notes and tags. Claude cannot create, edit, or delete anything in your library.
Does Screvi see my conversations with Claude?
No. Screvi only sees the specific tool calls Claude makes (search queries, highlight IDs it requests). The rest of your conversation stays in Claude.
How do I disconnect?
Open Claude settings, go to Connectors, find Screvi, and click disconnect. Access is revoked immediately. You can reconnect any time by repeating the setup.
Does it work with Claude Desktop and the web app?
Yes. Custom connectors added through Claude settings work across Claude on web, desktop, and mobile. One setup covers all of them.
Does it work with other AI tools?
Any MCP-compatible client can connect. The connector follows the open protocol, so the same URL works in other assistants that support custom MCP servers.
Is this included in my Screvi account?
Yes. The MCP connector is included with Screvi at no extra cost. If you do not have an account yet, you can start a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
Do I need to pay Anthropic?
Claude has a free tier that works with custom connectors. A paid Claude plan gives you longer conversations and higher usage limits, but the Screvi connector itself does not require one.
