DevAtlas: a local-first bookmark manager for developers, with an MCP server for AI coding agents
Every developer resource you rely on, in one place your AI agents can read.

Use with Claude Code and Cursor · FAQ
A local-first Windows desktop app built with Tauri 2, Rust and React that turns your browser
bookmarks, GitHub stars and saved links into one searchable library: collections, snippets, an
Explorer of suggested links, trending repos and star history, news from official blogs, language
rankings, a dead-link checker, backups, and a read-only MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor and other
coding agents can answer from what you saved. No account, no cloud, nothing written to your browser.
Contents
Features
Dashboard
- Time-of-day greeting, how many resources you have and how many you saved this month, and a bar
of your library by category.
- Saved per month chart, the Top stories developers are discussing, New on GitHub
(this week's top five new repositories, one click to save), Latest saves, a Rediscover
panel that resurfaces links you forgot, and your categories at a glance.
- Ctrl K searches everything: links (titles, notes and tags), collections, snippets and pages.
Library
- Reads one bookmark folder live from Brave, Chrome (including signed-in account bookmarks),
Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, Opera GX or Firefox, chosen in Settings, or none (only links you add).
Bookmarks are read, never written: removing one in DevAtlas only hides it there.
- Links are cleaned, de-duplicated and sorted into UI components, design inspiration, animation,
icons, tools and cloud consoles. Links you save in the browser appear within a few seconds with
a New tag (until you open them, or for 7 days).
- Add link: paste an address and DevAtlas fetches its title and preview image and files it
under the right category.
- Edit any link to change its category, add tags and write Why it's here, the note your
AI agents read.
- GitHub stars import: bring in up to 1,000 repositories any GitHub user starred.
- Cards show each site's preview image, and sites open in a viewer inside DevAtlas.
- Reading status for each link.
Organize
- Collections: named groups of links.
- Snippets: code snippets, which can be attached to a link.
- Explorer: your library plus suggested links by language and framework. Remove any suggestion
you don't want, and restore them later.
Discover
- Repos: new GitHub repositories collecting the most stars today, this week or this month,
optionally by language, with one-click Save. Rows expand to show each repository's star
history chart from star-history.com. GitHub has no API for its
Trending page, so this uses the official Search API (repositories created in the period, most
stars first), cached for 15 minutes.
- Star History: that site's rankings of repositories of any age: Weekly (biggest gainers),
All-time, Random and Pyramid (how stars are distributed).
- Saved repos: the GitHub repositories in your library as cards or rows, with search,
language and sort filters, their latest release and recent star growth (cached for an hour;
release checks are kept for six).
- News: the Hacker News front page and the latest posts from 35 official blogs, grouped into
languages, frameworks, databases and tools & platforms, each with its logo. Feeds are read in
Rust from a fixed allow-list and cached for 30 minutes. A For you filter keeps the stories that
match your tags and library (also on Repos).
- Languages: how popular programming languages are, from the two indexes that update monthly
(TIOBE and PYPL), side by side, with each language's movement over the last year.
AI coding agents
- The installed app doubles as an MCP server (
DevAtlas.exe --mcp), so Claude Code, Cursor,
Windsurf and Codex can search your library, read why you saved each link, and see which saved
resources match a project's dependencies. Read-only. See
