Set up, OAuth-authenticate, and use the Readwise MCP server (mcp2.readwise.io/mcp) via the mcporter CLI. Use when a user asks to connect/auth Readwise MCP, reset or troubleshoot OAuth login (stale redirect ports, invalid state), verify the connection, or run Readwise tools through mcporter.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill is intentionally kept short. High-level workflows live in: skills/readwise-mcp/RECIPES.md.
command -v mcporter && mcporter --version Ensure you’re in the Clawdbot workspace root where config/mcporter.json lives.
# Add the server to the *project* config mcporter config add readwise https://mcp2.readwise.io/mcp \ --auth oauth \ --description "Readwise MCP" # Start OAuth login (will open a browser) mcporter auth readwise --reset
mcporter list readwise --output json mcporter call readwise.reader_list_tags --args '{}' --output json
Cause: you approved in a stale browser tab (old auth attempt / old port). Fix: Close old Readwise OAuth tabs. Re-run: mcporter auth readwise --reset
Cause: browser session reuse. Fix: Use Incognito/Private window. Or copy the new authorize URL into a fresh profile.
You must land on: http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>/callback?code=...&state=... If the redirect hits a different port, mcporter will keep waiting. To find the expected port: cat ~/.mcporter/credentials.json Look for redirect_uris and ensure the browser redirect matches exactly.
General pattern: mcporter call readwise.<tool_name> --args '{...}' --output json Notes: --args must be valid JSON (prefer single quotes in shell). For Reader locations: new = inbox, later, shortlist, archive, feed (RSS only).
readwise_search_highlights — search highlights (vector + optional field filters) reader_search_documents — search Reader documents (hybrid search) reader_create_document — save a URL or HTML into Reader reader_list_documents — list newest documents (and paginate) reader_get_document_details — fetch a document’s full Markdown content reader_get_document_highlights — fetch highlights for a document reader_list_tags — list tag names reader_add_tags_to_document / reader_remove_tags_from_document reader_add_tags_to_highlight / reader_remove_tags_from_highlight reader_set_document_notes / reader_set_highlight_notes reader_move_document — move between inbox/later/shortlist/archive reader_edit_document_metadata — edit metadata (including seen) reader_export_documents — export Reader docs as a ZIP

See: skills/readwise-mcp/RECIPES.md Recipe names: Triage inbox (or Later fallback) Feed digest (last day/week) + mark as seen Quiz the user on a recently read archived document Recommendations (build a reading profile → pick next best doc) Library organizer (tagging + inbox-zero)
Readwise supports a shortlist location, but many people use it differently. Default assumption (most users): inbox / later / archive “Shortlisting” means: add a shortlist tag AND move the doc to later. Alternative setup: later / shortlist / archive “Shortlisting” means: move the doc to location=shortlist. So: before applying any shortlisting action, confirm which setup the user uses. If unknown, assume the default (tag + move to later).
When a workflow proposes writes (tagging, moving, setting notes/seen), default to: show a read-only plan first (counts + which docs) ask for approval before applying changes
