Agent-native

Connect your agent

Your agents are first-class users of your board. Ask Claude Code “where’s staging Datadog?” and it answers from your own bookmarks — no copy-pasting, no separate index.

Before you start

A TabHelm account, signed in at least once. Agent access reads your synced board, so a local-only install has nothing to share yet.
Claude Code, or any MCP client that supports HTTP with OAuth.

1. Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http tabhelm \
  https://azbitemtneyfpghhzknk.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp \
  --client-id 08b802b0-8870-44f5-89d0-37aed5899c71 \
  --callback-port 8080

There’s no client secret to paste — the exchange is secured by PKCE rather than a shared password.

Adding it doesn’t sign you in yet — nothing happens until you first use it.

2. Run `/mcp` to sign in

/mcp

Inside Claude Code. The first call opens your browser: sign in to TabHelm, then a consent screen names what’s asking and where your access would go. Approve it and you’re done — it stays connected and refreshes quietly from then on, so this is a one-time step.

3. Check it worked

Run /mcp again. tabhelm should now be listed as connected, with eight tools. Then just ask it something — “what do you know about my TabHelm?” is a good opener.

What it can do

`search_bookmarks`	Find a bookmark by title, URL or note. Understands "last week".
`get_bookmark`	Full detail for one bookmark, including why you saved it.
`list_board`	Your tabs and cards, with counts — the shape of your board.
`list_launch_sets`	Each card as a named set of links, ready to open.
`suggest_placement`	Where a new link belongs, with a reason and a confidence.
`save_bookmark`	Save a URL. Saving one you already have fills gaps instead of duplicating.
`move_bookmark`	File a bookmark into a card, or back to the inbox.
`update_bookmark`	Change a title, note or URL.

Nothing can be deleted. An agent can save, file and edit, but there is no delete tool at all — so the worst case is a tidy-up you disagree with, not lost bookmarks. Launch sets hand back their links rather than opening tabs, because opening a tab is something your browser does, not a server.

If it doesn’t work

“Address already in use”, or the browser never opens: Port 8080 is taken by something else. Re-run the command with --callback-port 8090 — it’s registered too. The port has to be one we know about in advance, so only these two work.
Signed in, but the agent sees an empty board: Agent access reads your synced board. Open TabHelm, check the status bar says Synced, then ask again.
The consent screen says an app you don’t recognise: Deny it. Read the address it would send your access to, not just the name — a name is whatever an app calls itself, but the address is where your access actually goes. Only approve something you started yourself.
Something else: Tell us and we’ll look.
