Your saved materials, put to work.
For you and your AI agents.
Save links, articles, documents, images, audio and video to SilvaLabs. Get the text out of every item, plus AI summaries and key points when you need them. Organize your library, ask questions across your saved sources, and connect agent-visible materials via MCP (Pro).
Library
Bookmarks and extracted text. Search the list or organize with folders.

One library. Many ways to put knowledge to work.
SilvaLabs serves researchers, analysts and writers who need to collect scattered materials, strip away visual noise and build a structured personal knowledge base. It is just as much a tool for developers and engineers: it turns saved documentation, RFCs and scripts into reliable external context that AI agents and your IDE can safely access via MCP.
Collect sources on a topic and come back to them through reading, key points and questions
Build topic folders without the noise. Extract text from web pages, PDFs, photo scans, voice notes and video.
- check_circleSave articles, documents, images and audio/video in their original form.
- check_circleAutomatic text extraction and accurate speech transcription (Whisper).
- check_circleSummaries and key points on demand, with no wasted credits.
- check_circleAsk questions about a folder or your whole library (Ask, Pro) with links to the exact cards.
Your materials highlight two key approaches:
Prepare external context and give your agent access to selected materials
Save documentation, RFCs, code samples and scripts to SilvaLabs. On Pro, materials marked as agent-visible can be searched and read from Cursor via MCP, and scripts can be handed to agents to run. No more copy-pasting context into chat.
- check_circleClean, normalized Markdown with no scripts or heavy wrappers.
- check_circleProtection against running unreviewed code: saved scripts or instructions are never executed automatically — each step requires explicit confirmation (runbook).
- check_circleAn “Agent visible” toggle on every card gives you full privacy control.
- check_circleRevoke a key instantly in one click if it ever leaks.
silvalabs_search_context(query="Creative Commons founder and license model")API keys and agent features are available on Pro. Setup follows a short guide.
From a link or file to material you can actually work with
Three transparent steps turn unstructured web pages and media files into organized digital memory.
Inbox: one place to capture
Paste a link or drop a file. Switch between a quick bookmark and full text capture, and add AI processing if you like.
Transparent processing
Live task status in real time: type detection, preview generation and clean Markdown extraction, with no hidden delays.
A ready knowledge base
Read structured Markdown, run AI optimization (summary, key points, AI MD) and connect cards to Cursor via MCP.
* Full capture availability depends on the source, the content type and your plan limits.
Many sources, one library
No upfront sorting. One smart stream for everything you bring in.
Links and files
Add materials through a single field — no need to pick a category. Drag in files, save links without duplicates and attach your own note to each item.
“Bookmark” vs “Fetch content”
Save a quick bookmark with a preview, title and favicon, or capture the full text. You can upgrade any bookmark to full content later with “Fetch full text”.
Processing by content type
Articles are stripped of clutter and turned into readable text. Documents have their text extracted, and scanned pages are recognized within your plan limits. Audio and video become text transcripts.
Browser bookmarklet
The bookmarklet opens a save popup right on top of any page. Drag it to your bookmarks bar once.
Clear processing in Inbox
You always see what is happening to an item: live statuses (“Detecting type”, “Reading preview”, “Transcribing speech”), plain-language hints when a page is unavailable, and an instant Retry button.
Don't just save — come back to your materials
Bookmark chaos is a thing of the past. SilvaLabs is designed so you can easily find your way around hundreds of saved articles and notes.
Folders and tags
Create and rename folders, drag cards around, filter by date and content type. Give items your own titles without losing the original metadata.
Fast card search
Instant search by title, URL and your personal note. * The search bar works on metadata. For full-text search and analysis, use Ask on Pro.
Reader and Markdown download
Comfortable reading right in the app, media previews, a floating reader window and one-click Markdown copy.
Inside vector databases
Use AI only where you actually need it
You control credit spending: expensive AI models run only when you ask, not automatically on every action.
Click an operation to run an analysis layer on demand. The credit cost depends on the length of the source text and is charged only when something is generated:
Cleans up Markdown and structures headings and tables.
A concise summary you can read in 30 seconds.
Key arguments and facts as bullet points.
A full analytical rewrite, ready to feed to agents.
Basic capture is free.
AI runs only when you click.
We value predictable costs. Saving bookmarks, text parsing and OCR of scans all run within your plan quotas and never use AI credits.
The AI model does not run until you click summary or normalization. No surprise charges for forgotten tabs.
Credits are spent only on heavy LLM transformations of a specific card. A starter credit pack is added as soon as you create an account.
Ask: question what you've already saved
Ask questions across your whole library or narrow the context to a single folder. Ask builds its answer only from your saved materials, with precise links to the sources.
Based on 3 saved materials in the “Research” folder, these selection criteria stand out:
- Priority goes to sources with reproducible experiments and published source code [1: Search methodology.pdf]
- Secondary retellings should be replaced with the original preprints within 24 hours of saving [2: Report 2026.html]
Ask is included in Pro. Ask queries don't use the AI credits reserved for card summaries and key points, so you can talk to your materials without watching your balance.
The model doesn't make things up from the internet. If your materials don't contain the answer, Ask will tell you so.
Give your agent the context it needs
Use personal API keys and the MCP server so Cursor, Claude Desktop or local agents can work with your library directly.
Allow connected AI agents to read this card via MCP

Full security control
You decide at any time which materials the agent sees and which stay strictly private.
Keys work in read and search mode (knowledge:read). Adding materials via the API (ingest:write) is in development.
Revoke a leaked or unused key in one click — the agent loses access immediately.
The agent sees only materials with “Agent visible” turned on. The rest of your library stays private.
