The Highlights — by Glasp — May 2026
This month was about one idea: your highlights should go wherever you think. We shipped three ways to take them with you — a public API, automatic Kindle Auto-sync, and an MCP Connector that brings everything you’ve saved into Claude and ChatGPT. Highlight once; reuse it everywhere.

🔧 Feature Updates
Glasp API — You can now access your highlights programmatically. The new Highlight Export endpoint lets you pull all your highlights — including imported Kindle books — into your own tools and workflows. Read the API docs.
Kindle Auto-sync (Beta) — Glasp now imports your new Kindle highlights automatically on a schedule (Daily, Every 3 days, or Weekly) — no manual export needed. Enable it in Extension Settings → Kindle Integration. We’ve updated this tutorial with the steps.
MCP Connector — Bring your Glasp highlights into Claude and ChatGPT. Connect Glasp as an MCP server and ask your AI assistant about everything you’ve read, highlighted, and saved. Read-only and private to you — it can never post, edit, or delete. Connect it here
