# Bookmarks Json To Html — MCP tool `findutils:bookmarks_json_to_html`

Convert a bookmarks JSON file into a Netscape bookmarks.html that Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari import. Reads three shapes: the Chromium profile file named Bookmarks (Chrome, Edge, Brave; no extension; roots.bookmark_bar / other / synced, date_added in microseconds since 1601), a Firefox JSON backup (text/x-moz-place containers with uri and dateAdded in microseconds since 1970), and a plain tree of {title|name, url|uri|href, children} objects or an array of them. Folder nesting and root folders are kept, dates are converted to the Unix seconds bookmarks.html uses, entries with no address and separators are skipped and counted. Other formats are refused, and nothing is fetched.
