# Send Readwise to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### Readwise MCP (mcporter)

This skill is intentionally kept short.
High-level workflows live in: skills/readwise-mcp/RECIPES.md.

### Preflight

command -v mcporter && mcporter --version

Ensure you’re in the Clawdbot workspace root where config/mcporter.json lives.

### Quick setup (first time)

# 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

### Verify it works

mcporter list readwise --output json
mcporter call readwise.reader_list_tags --args '{}' --output json

### “Invalid OAuth state”

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

### Redirecting to an old port even after reset

Cause: browser session reuse.

Fix:

Use Incognito/Private window.
Or copy the new authorize URL into a fresh profile.

### “Waiting for browser approval…” but you already approved

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.

### Using the server

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).

### Tool index (what’s available)

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

### 1) Search highlights (idea-first / semantic)

mcporter call readwise.readwise_search_highlights \\
  --args '{"vector_search_term":"incentives", "limit": 10}' \\
  --output json

### 2) Search Reader documents (hybrid)

mcporter call readwise.reader_search_documents \\
  --args '{"query":"MCP", "limit": 10}' \\
  --output json

### 3) List newest docs in inbox (thin fields)

mcporter call readwise.reader_list_documents \\
  --args '{
    "limit": 10,
    "location": "new",
    "response_fields":["title","author","url","category","location","created_at","tags"]
  }' \\
  --output json

### 4) Get a document’s full content (markdown)

mcporter call readwise.reader_get_document_details \\
  --args '{"document_id":"<id>"}' \\
  --output json

### Recipes

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)

### Shortlist semantics (important)

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).

### Safety / defaults

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
