Burn — Personal Knowledge Base MCP Server
Your reading data as an AI-accessible knowledge base. 26 tools for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent.
How it works
Burn triages your reading with a 24h timer:
- Flame → New links. 24h to read or they burn.
- Spark → You read it. Stays 30 days.
- Vault → Permanent. Your curated knowledge.
- Ash → Expired. They had their chance.
The MCP server lets your AI agent search, triage, organize, and analyze everything you've saved.
Quick Start
1. Get your token
Download Burn on iOS or use Burn on the web → Settings → MCP Server → Copy Access Token
2. Pick a connection mode
2a. Local — stdio (Claude Desktop / Claude Code CLI / Cursor / Windsurf)
{
"mcpServers": {
"burn": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["burn-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"BURN_MCP_TOKEN": "<your-token>"
}
}
}
}
2b. Remote — HTTPS (claude.ai Connectors / Claude Code Routines / any cloud MCP client)
Endpoint:
https://burn-mcp-server.vercel.app/api/mcp
Auth: Authorization: Bearer <BURN_MCP_TOKEN> header.
For claude.ai Connectors (Settings → Connectors → Add custom MCP):
- URL:
https://burn-mcp-server.vercel.app/api/mcp - Header:
Authorization: Bearer <your BURN_MCP_TOKEN>
For Claude Code Routines: link globally in Settings → Connectors; Routines will auto-include it.
Direct curl test:
curl -X POST https://burn-mcp-server.vercel.app/api/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BURN_MCP_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}}}'
Transport: stateless StreamableHTTP, JSON-response mode. Same 26 tools, same token, no install.
3. Start asking
- "What did I save about system design?"
- "Triage my Flame — what should I keep?"
- "Create a collection from my AI bookmarks"
