Quick answers to the questions people ask most. If yours is not here, email [email protected].
Using it
Which browsers does it work in?
ContextBolt is a Chrome extension, so it works in Chrome and other Chromium browsers like Edge, Brave and Arc. Install it from the Chrome Web Store.
Which platforms can it capture from?
X / Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn. X and Reddit saves are captured when you open your bookmarks or saved pages. LinkedIn gets a one-click save button in the feed.
Do I have to tag or sort anything myself?
No. Every save is tagged by AI and grouped into topic clusters automatically. There are no folders to build and no upkeep.
Do I need an AI agent to use it?
No. Capture, AI tagging and search all work in the extension on their own. Extension search is a local ranked index: it runs on your device, returns instantly and tolerates typos. The AI agent connection is a Pro extra for people who want their library inside Claude, Cursor or Codex.
Privacy and data
Where do my bookmarks live?
On your machine. Search runs locally in your browser, and by default we store zero bookmarks on our servers.
What gets sent to your servers?
Only the text content of a save, and only so the AI can tag it. Your library itself stays local unless you turn on encrypted sync.
Can I get my data out?
Any time. Export your whole collection whenever you want, for backup or to move it elsewhere. Nothing is locked in.
Plans and limits
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Basic plan is free and holds up to 150 bookmarks with full capture, AI tagging, topic clustering and instant local search. See pricing for current details.
What does Pro add?
Unlimited bookmarks, encrypted cloud sync across devices, and the MCP endpoint that connects your library to your AI agent.
Do I need Pro to search?
No. Search inside the extension is on the free plan. It is a local ranked index that runs on your device, returns instantly and tolerates typos. Semantic search, which matches on meaning rather than words, runs server-side through the Pro MCP endpoint. Pro is about scale, sync and the agent connection.
Troubleshooting
My AI agent cannot see my bookmarks
Work through these in order.
- Confirm you are on Pro. The MCP endpoint is a Pro feature.
- Check you pasted the full MCP URL, including the token at the end.
- Restart your client after adding the server. Most load MCP servers only on startup.
- Make sure your subscription is active. An expired plan disables the URL.
Full setup steps are on Connect your agent.
A save did not show up
Give it a moment. Tagging runs on each new save, so a bookmark can take a few seconds to appear. For X and Reddit, make sure you actually opened the bookmarks or saved page so the extension could read it.
Search is not finding something
Try a topic word rather than a whole remembered sentence. Extension search matches the AI tags, the author and the full text of a save, and it ranks results rather than filtering them, so “morning routines” beats a long phrase. Typos are fine. If the item was never captured, it will not be searchable, so confirm it is in your library first.
