Screvi MCP Server

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources. Screvi's MCP server gives AI tools direct access to your highlights, sources, and articles, so you can have conversations grounded in what you've actually read.

What You Can Do

Once connected, your AI assistant can:

• Search your highlights using semantic search (meaning-based, not just keywords)
• Look up specific highlights by ID, including tags and notes
• Browse your sources (books, podcasts, tweet threads) with all their highlights
• Search your saved articles by title, author, domain, reading status, and more

Available Tools

The MCP server exposes four tools:

Tool	Description
search	Semantic + keyword search across all your highlights. Supports filters for favorites, source type, and source name/author.
get-highlight	Get a single highlight by ID, including its source, tags, and notes.
get-source	Get a source (book, podcast, etc.) by ID, with all its highlights.
search-articles	Search saved articles by title, author, domain, status, or other filters.

Example Prompts

Once connected, try asking your AI assistant:

• "What have I highlighted about decision-making?"
• "Find my favorite highlights from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius"
• "Show me articles I saved about AI this month"
• "What did I read about building good habits?"
• "Summarize the highlights from my most recent book"

Connect to Claude

The easiest way to connect Screvi to Claude is through Claude's built-in connector feature.

Step 1: Open Claude Connectors

Go to claude.ai/settings/connectors and click Add custom connector.

Step 2: Configure the Connector

Fill in the following details:

• Name: Screvi
• MCP Server URL: https://api.screvi.com/mcp

Click Add to save the connector.

Step 3: Authorize

Claude will redirect you to Screvi to authorize access. Log in with your Screvi account and approve the connection. This uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, so your credentials are never shared with Claude.

Step 4: Start Using It

Go back to claude.ai and start a new conversation. Claude now has access to your Screvi highlights. Try asking it something about your reading.

Privacy & Security

• OAuth 2.0 + PKCE: Industry-standard secure authorization. Your password is never shared.
• Read-only access: The MCP server can only read your data. It cannot create, edit, or delete anything.
• Your data stays yours: Highlights are fetched on-demand per query. Nothing is cached or stored by the AI assistant beyond your conversation.
• Revoke anytime: Disconnect the integration from claude.ai/settings/connectors at any time.
