SupaSidebar MCP server
by auspy
Lets your AI see your open tabs, bookmarks and recent links on your Mac, and tidy them up for you.
This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to SupaSidebar, a free Mac app that puts all your browser tabs, bookmarks and links in one sidebar. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI in plain words to find a saved link, sort your bookmarks into folders, or open a page in the right browser. It is handy if you keep far too many tabs open and want someone else to do the tidying.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app, and here it connects your AI to the SupaSidebar app on your Mac. So when you ask your AI about your tabs or bookmarks, it passes the request to this helper, the helper talks to SupaSidebar, and SupaSidebar reads or changes things on your machine. Everything stays on your computer; nothing is sent to the internet.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like "what do I have open right now?" or "find the pricing page I bookmarked last week". Your AI sends that request to this helper program running quietly in the background. The helper passes it to the SupaSidebar app on your Mac, which knows about your tabs, bookmarks, folders and spaces. SupaSidebar sends the answer back, and your AI shows it to you as a normal chat reply. If you asked for a change, like saving a link or moving it to a folder, SupaSidebar makes that change for you.

Try asking your AI
- “What do I have open right now?”
- “Find the pricing page I bookmarked last week, I think it had billing in the notes”
- “Group my unfiled links into folders by topic and move them there”
- “What did I open yesterday afternoon?”
What it gives back to you
You get answers in plain chat text: lists of tabs, bookmarks or recent links with their names and web addresses, search results, or a short confirmation that something was saved, moved or opened. For example, asking what you have open gives you a tidy list of your tabs, grouped by browser. If you asked for a change, it tells you what it did.
