The Digback MCP server for your saved links

What can an AI app do with Digback over MCP?

Once connected, you just ask in plain words:

• “Find the Docker tutorials I saved last year.”
• “What did I save about Postgres indexes?”
• “Go through my pins that have no description and write one for each.”
• “Put everything tagged recipe on a board called Cooking.”
• “Make a smart board of design tools I saved from Reddit.”
• “Save this link with the note: pricing page to copy.”

Behind those, the server has 12 tools:

Tool	What it does
search_pins	Search saved links by meaning and by words at the same time, with filters for source, tag, board, type and date
list_pins	Walk through pins by category, like needs_description, needs_image, no_board or inbox
get_pin	One pin in full, including the text Digback pulled off the page
similar_pins	Other pins on the same subject as one pin, each with why it matched
update_pin	Change the title, description, image, tags, note or boards of one pin
bulk_update_pins	Write descriptions, tags or images onto up to 25 pins in one call
refetch_images	Ask Digback to fetch missing pictures itself, in the background
add_pin	Save a new link, with a note, tags and boards
list_boards	Every board, plus the total number of pins
create_board	Make a board, or a smart board that fills itself from a search
list_tags	Every tag with how many pins use it
board_stats	Counts by source and status, and how many pins still need work

There is no delete tool, on purpose.

How do I connect it?

Two steps: make a token in Digback, then give it to your app.

Step 1: make a token

Open Digback, go to Settings, then Claude (MCP), and press Create token. The token is shown once, so copy it then. Digback keeps only a hash of it. If you lose it, make a new one, and the old one stops working straight away.

Step 2: add Digback to your app

In every snippet below, replace YOUR_TOKEN with your token.

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http digback https://app.digback.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Check it with claude mcp list.

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

The connector screen cannot send a header, so use the address that carries the token. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste:

https://app.digback.com/mcp/t/YOUR_TOKEN

Treat that address like a password, because it holds one. If it gets out, make a new token in Settings.

Claude Desktop with mcp-remote

If you would rather send a header, put this in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digback": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://app.digback.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "digback": {
      "url": "https://app.digback.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code with Copilot

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "digback": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.digback.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Other apps

Digback’s Settings, Claude (MCP) screen builds the exact snippet for each of these, with your token already in it:

• ChatGPT: switch on Developer mode, create a connector, paste the address with the token inside it, and pick No authentication.
• Codex CLI: codex mcp add digback --url https://app.digback.com/mcp --bearer-token-env-var DIGBACK_TOKEN
• Gemini CLI: gemini mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" digback https://app.digback.com/mcp
• Windsurf, Antigravity and Zed: a JSON block for their MCP config file.

The Claude setups above are the ones written up and checked. The others follow each app’s own MCP format; if one does not connect, write to [email protected].

How does the server work?

Detail	Value
Address	https://app.digback.com/mcp
Address for apps that only take a URL	https://app.digback.com/mcp/t/YOUR_TOKEN
Transport	Streamable HTTP, stateless, JSON responses
Auth	Personal token as a Bearer header, or inside the address
Rate limit	60 calls a minute per token
Server name	digback
Tools	12, with no delete tool

A token reaches only the pins of the person who made it. Every call is recorded, and Settings, Claude (MCP) shows the last 50, so you can see what an app did and when.

Why use MCP for saved links?

Because you already ask an AI app questions all day. With Digback connected, “what was that tool I saved for resizing images” gets answered from your own saves, not from the whole web. And the boring jobs, like writing a line for 200 pins with no description, can be handed over in one sentence.
