Burn MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to Burn, a read-later app where saved links expire after 24 hours unless you read or keep them. Once connected, your AI can look through everything you have saved and help you decide what to keep. It is handy if you save a lot of articles and never get back to them.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your saved links, like what you kept about a topic. The AI uses this helper to talk to Burn and pull up your bookmarks. The helper can also read the full article behind a link and give you a summary. Then it can move a link to a different pile, for example keep it, burn it, or save it forever. You get the answer or the change right in your chat.

Try asking your AI

• “What did I save about system design?”
• “Triage my inbox and keep anything about AI agents, burn the rest”
• “What is about to expire in the next 6 hours that I would regret losing?”
• “Create a collection called MCP in production from my saves and write an overview”

What it gives back to you

You get back lists of bookmarks, short summaries, and answers to your questions, all written in the chat. When it reads an article, it can give you the main points. When it moves or groups links, it tells you what it changed. It can also write a short overview back into a collection or a bookmark.
