Save a web page to your reading list, optionally into a folder, with tags.

Instapaper MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/instapaper.md

MCP tool: `instapaper_write → save_bookmark`

Access: write.

Saves the URL as a new article, in Home or straight into a folder or the archive. Tags you pass are created if they do not exist. Without a title, Instapaper looks the title up, which makes the call slower. Reaches no one and is undone with one move_bookmark or delete_bookmark call, so it runs without asking. Returns the new article.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | yes | The page to save. |
| `title` | string | no | Title to show. If left out, it is looked up. |
| `folder_id` | integer | no | Folder ID from list_folders. Default: Home. |
| `archived` | boolean | no | Save straight to the Archive. Default: false. |
| `tags` | string[] | no | Tag names to apply. New names are created. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
