Full reference: docs.rewind.rest/mcp-server.

Setup

Desktop apps

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rewind": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rewind-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "REWIND_API_KEY": "rw_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Mobile and web

Add as a remote integration in your client's settings:

• URL: https://mcp.rewind.rest/mcp
• Authorization: Bearer rw_live_your_key_here

claude mcp add rewind -- npx -y rewind-mcp-server

Requires a Rewind API key. REWIND_API_URL defaults to https://api.rewind.rest.

On clients that support MCP Apps (Claude Desktop, Claude web, VS Code Copilot, Goose), get_recent_watches, get_recent_reads, get_top_albums, and get_top_artists render interactive grids inline; other clients see the standard text + image response.

Example queries

• "What albums have I been listening to the most recently?"
• "Compare my mile splits from this month vs last month"
• "When was the last time I watched a film by Wes Anderson?"
• "What Beastie Boys records are missing from my vinyl collection?"
• "How many articles did I read last year and stack-rank the top 10 sources"
• "Can you give me a quick summary of everything I did last week?"

Prompts

Slash-command prompts that orchestrate multiple tools: weekly-summary, year-in-review, compare-periods, letterboxd-review-draft, training-report, film-diet, find-article. See the docs for argument shapes.

Authentication

Desktop apps use the REWIND_API_KEY env var passed to the server process; the server uses it as a Bearer token to the Rewind API.

Mobile and web clients connect to mcp.rewind.rest and authenticate via OAuth 2.1 with GitHub as the identity provider (1h access tokens, 90d refresh, PKCE S256).

The server is read-only. No write or admin operations are exposed.
