An MCP Server for Anybox

·2 mins

AnyBox MCP Server #

After being a ChatGPT guy since pretty much launch, thanks to Claude Code and my increasingly worrying vibe coding addiction, I’ve paid for a month of Claude Pro and tried out the desktop app.

I’m not quite sold on the app, but I really find the ability to integrate with Model Context Protocol (“MCP”) servers interesting. Longplay, my favourite music app, has an MCP server available that I tried out, and I loved it. One of the things that I find tedious in Longplay is organizing my library into collections, which is really finicky and time intensive in the app. But with the MCP server, I can just tell Claude to look through my library for similar albums to add to my “Dad Rock” collection (spoiler alert: it’s mostly Radiohead). And it actually does it.

The other app I was interested in using with Claude was Anybox, my favourite little bookmark manager. I was sad to see that there wasn’t an MCP server for it, but I know there is an API key for the app and several extensions for it, so I figured it was possible. So… I made one!

By “made” of course, I meant I vibe coded it with Claude Code. It took about 45 minutes of guiding it while I was doing other stuff, and lo and behold, it worked out of the gate! I’m kind of ashamed to say that I have not even looked at the code for this. But it was smart enough to make a README.md file with installation instructions and everything for it.

So here it is: The Anybox MCP server. I hope people will get some use out of this!
