A secure MCP server for Evernote integration with OAuth 1.0a authentication and automatic token expiration handling
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Evernote MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. A secure MCP server for Evernote integration with OAuth 1.0a authentication and automatic token expiration handling.
A local MCP server that connects Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible LLM) with your Evernote account, allowing contextual queries and searches over your notes using natural language.
The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:
Dockerfile — Multi-stage build process: - Builder stage: Uses cgr.dev/chainguard/node:latest-dev with git and openssl for setup - Production stage: UsesConfiguration is passed through the environment: EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_KEY, EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_SECRET, NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, DEV_MODE, GITHUB_REPO_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
The server ships on npm as node, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Evernote's toolset — Dockerfile — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by brentmid; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dockerfile | Multi-stage build process: - **Builder stage**: Uses cgr.dev/chainguard/node:latest-dev with git and openssl for setup - **Production stage**: Uses minimal cgr.dev/chainguard/node:latest for runtime - **GitHub integratio |
