Raindrop.io

Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager for organizing, searching, tagging, highlighting, sharing, importing, and exporting saved web content.

Verdict

Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager that lets teams save, organize, and retrieve web links inside Switchy. @mention it to create bookmarks from URLs shared in conversation, search saved links by keyword or tag, or pull reading lists into a Project brief. Designers collecting inspiration, researchers tracking sources, and content teams curating references get the most value. You'll need a Raindrop API key (free or paid account), and the MCP can't yet edit existing bookmarks or manage tags—only create, retrieve, and delete.

Common use cases

  • Save competitor landing pages during research sprints
  • Build a shared reading list for onboarding
  • Archive Slack links before they expire
  • Search saved articles by keyword mid-conversation
  • Organize design inspiration into nested collections

    List all root and nested collections in the connected Raindrop account, including IDs, parent relationships, titles, and bookmark counts.

  • List Tags

    List tag names and bookmark counts globally or within one collection.

  • Update Bookmark

    Update selected bookmark fields, move it to another collection, or replace its tags while preserving omitted fields.

  • Update Collection

    Change selected properties of an existing Raindrop collection without replacing omitted properties.

Setup

Setup guide

  1. 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the MCP integrations panel. 2. Select 'Add Integration' and choose Raindrop.io from the catalog. 3. Open raindrop.io/settings/integrations in a new tab, scroll to 'For Developers', and click 'Create new app' to generate a test token (or use an existing token if you have one). 4. Copy the token and paste it into the API Key field in Switchy, then click 'Connect'. 5. Switchy will verify the token and confirm the connection with a green checkmark. 6. Open any Project, type '@Raindrop' in the chat, and ask it to list your collections—if you see collection names and IDs, the integration is live. 7. To save a bookmark, paste a URL in chat and tell '@Raindrop' to create a bookmark in a specific collection by name or ID.

What teammates see: by default, memories from Raindrop.io are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Starter prompts

Save This Article

@Raindrop create a bookmark for https://example.com/article in my 'Research' collection with the note 'Shared by Sarah during standup'.

List All Collections

@Raindrop list all my collections, including nested ones, and show their IDs and bookmark counts.

Bulk Save URLs

@Raindrop create bookmarks for these URLs in my 'Content Ideas' collection: https://example.com/one, https://example.com/two, https://example.com/three.

Retrieve Bookmark Details

@Raindrop get the bookmark with ID 12345678 and show me its title, URL, notes, and any highlights.

Example outputs

Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.

Prompt

@raindrop list all bookmarks in my 'Design Inspiration' collection tagged 'typography' from the last 30 days

Output

Found 14 bookmarks in your Design Inspiration collection with the 'typography' tag from the past month. The most recent include: 'Modern Variable Font Techniques' (typewolf.com, saved 2 days ago), 'Kinetic Typography in Web Design' (awwwards.com, saved 5 days ago), and 'OpenType Features Deep Dive' (fonts.google.com, saved 1 week ago). Each bookmark includes your saved notes and highlights. This is page 1 of 1; all matching results are shown.

Notes

This example shows filtered search across collection, tag, and date range. Raindrop's API requires a valid collection ID (obtained via List Collections first) and supports multiple filter parameters. Results are paginated at 50 bookmarks per page by default; adjust page size if you expect large result sets.

Prompt

@raindrop save this article https://example.com/ai-agents-2024 to my 'Research' collection with the note 'Referenced in Q2 roadmap discussion'

Output

Bookmark created successfully. Saved 'AI Agents in Production: 2024 Survey' to your Research collection (ID: 28471923) with your note attached. Raindrop automatically fetched the page title, description, and cover image. The bookmark is now searchable and appears in your collection's default sort order (most recent first).

Notes

This demonstrates single-bookmark creation with collection assignment and custom notes. Requires a valid API key with write permissions. Raindrop auto-enriches metadata (title, description, cover) from the URL's Open Graph tags. If the collection doesn't exist, you'll need to create it first with Create Collection.

Prompt

@raindrop review all my Unsorted bookmarks from this week and suggest which collections they belong in based on their content and my existing collection structure

Output

Retrieved 23 unsorted bookmarks from the past 7 days and analyzed them against your 12 collections. Recommendations: 8 bookmarks about API design patterns → 'Backend Resources' collection; 5 product management articles → 'PM Reading List'; 4 design system examples → 'Design Inspiration'; 3 team collaboration tools → 'Tools & Services'; 3 miscellaneous links may warrant a new 'Industry News' collection. Each recommendation includes reasoning based on bookmark titles, descriptions, and your collection themes.

Notes

This synthesis example combines List Bookmarks (Unsorted filter) with List Collections, then uses AI reasoning to categorize. The MCP provides raw data; the AI performs the matching logic. You'll still need to manually move bookmarks afterward (Raindrop's API doesn't support bulk collection reassignment). Useful for periodic inbox-zero workflows.

Use-case deep-dives

Customer support knowledge curation

When Raindrop beats a wiki for support team research

A 6-person support team fields 40 tickets a day and needs fast access to vendor docs, forum threads, and internal runbooks scattered across the web. Raindrop wins here because the Create Bookmark and List Bookmarks tools let agents save URLs mid-conversation and retrieve them by keyword or collection without leaving the chat. The nested collection structure mirrors your product taxonomy better than a flat wiki, and the 100-bookmark batch import means onboarding new hires takes one prompt instead of 30 manual saves. The trade-off: if your team already lives in Notion or Confluence and links are embedded in pages, adding Raindrop is redundant overhead. But if your knowledge is mostly external URLs and your current system is browser bookmarks or Slack search, Raindrop gives your AI workspace a structured memory that actually scales with ticket volume.

Competitive research sprint aggregation

Raindrop for 2-week research sprints with deliverable handoff

A 3-person product team runs a quarterly competitive analysis sprint: two weeks of reading competitor blogs, feature pages, and third-party reviews, then a deck summarizing findings. Raindrop's Create Collection and Create Bookmarks tools let the team dump 50-80 URLs into a sprint-specific collection as they go, tagging by theme or competitor name. At sprint end, List Bookmarks pulls everything into a summary prompt that writes the first draft of the deck. This works because the research is time-boxed and URL-heavy; the collection becomes the artifact. The boundary: if your research is mostly PDFs, internal docs, or Figma files, Raindrop only handles the web links and you still need a separate system for the rest. Use this MCP when your sprint output is 70 percent external URLs and you want one place to store, search, and export them without a dedicated research tool.

Freelancer client resource handoff

When solo consultants use Raindrop as a client deliverable

A solo marketing consultant wraps 6-week client engagements by delivering a curated Raindrop collection of 30-50 resources: competitor examples, SEO tools, design inspiration, and how-to guides the client can reference after the contract ends. The Create Collection and Create Bookmarks tools let the consultant build this library in Switchy as they work, adding notes to each bookmark explaining why it matters. At handoff, the client gets read access to a living resource instead of a static PDF link dump. This scenario works because the consultant controls the Raindrop account and the client doesn't need write access. The limit: if clients expect to own the resource library or add their own links post-engagement, you need a paid Raindrop team plan and a different auth setup. For solo practitioners doing fixed-scope work with a clean handoff, Raindrop turns your research into a reusable client asset without extra tooling cost.

Frequently asked

What does the Raindrop.io MCP do in Switchy?

It lets your team save, organize, and search bookmarks stored in Raindrop.io without leaving Switchy. You can create collections, file URLs into them, retrieve bookmarks by ID, and bulk-create up to 100 bookmarks at once. Think of it as programmatic access to your shared bookmark library — useful for research workflows or link curation.

Do I need a paid Raindrop.io plan to use this MCP?

No. The MCP uses Raindrop's API key auth, which works on free accounts. You'll need to generate a test token from your Raindrop settings page and paste it into Switchy. Admin access isn't required — any Raindrop user can create their own API key and connect their personal library.

Can the MCP edit bookmark metadata or move items between collections?

The current tool set focuses on creation, retrieval, and deletion. You can create bookmarks with notes and tags, delete them, and list everything. Moving a bookmark between collections or editing its title after creation isn't exposed yet — you'd do that in the Raindrop web app or wait for Switchy to add update tools.

Why use this instead of just bookmarking links in Slack or Notion?

Raindrop is purpose-built for bookmark management: full-text search across saved pages, automatic tagging, duplicate detection, and nested collections. Slack threads and Notion databases don't index the content of linked pages. If your team saves dozens of URLs a week, Raindrop keeps them findable; Slack buries them in search noise.

Who on the team should connect the Raindrop MCP?

Whoever owns your team's shared Raindrop account — typically a research lead or knowledge manager. Each Switchy user connects their own API key, so if you want a single source of truth, one person should connect the shared account. Multiple connections work but create separate bookmark silos per user.
