A 24-hour expiry only works if something triages the inbox, and that is precisely the chore nobody does. batch_triage_flame hands the decision to an assistant that has actually read the articles — and write_bookmark_analysis stores the reasoning it did instead of throwing it away when the session ends.
The MCP server for Burn, a read-later app with a deadline. Saves land in Flame with 24 hours to live, move to Spark for 30 days once read, and to Vault when they are worth keeping. These tools let an assistant triage, search, organise and analyse everything you have saved.
- Search and read — search_vault, list_vault by category, list_sparks, search_sparks, list_flame for what is about to burn, get_flame_detail, get_bookmark, get_article_content, list_categories
- Triage — move_flame_to_spark, move_flame_to_ash, move_spark_to_vault, move_spark_to_ash, and batch_triage_flame for a whole inbox in one call
- Collections — get_collections, get_collection_overview, create_collection, add_to_collection, remove_from_collection, and update_collection_overview for a written theme and synthesis
- Analysis — write_bookmark_analysis lets the agent analyse content with its own model and write structured results back, merging only the fields it supplied
- Fetching — fetch_content pulls an article or post from a URL, covering X, Reddit, YouTube, Bilibili, WeChat and ordinary web pages, checking the cache before going out
- Watched sources — add_watched_source for an X user, RSS feed or YouTube channel, list_watched_sources, remove_watched_source, and scrape_watched_sources to pull new items into Flame on demand or on a schedule
A free Burn account and a token from Settings under MCP Server. Remote: point a client at https://burn-mcp-server.vercel.app/api/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer header — nothing runs locally. Local: the npm package burn-mcp-server over stdio with BURN_MCP_TOKEN in the environment; it exchanges that token for a short-lived session cached under your home directory, so it does not log in on every run. The free tier is 5 saves a day with all the MCP tools included.
One command plus a key — npx burn-mcp-server, then supply credentials
