Hjarni is an AI-native note-taking app. Write notes in Markdown, organize them in folders with custom AI instructions per folder, and let Claude or ChatGPT search, read, create, and organize your notes via MCP. That is what the hjarni mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
search — Full-text search across notes, containers, and tagsnotes-create — Create a new note with title, body, tags, and container placementnotes-get — Read a single note including full content, tags, and linked notesnotes-list — List notes with filtering by container, tags, and sortingnotes-update — Update content, move notes, change tags, archive/unarchivenotes-delete — Permanently delete a notecontainers-list — List folders for organizing notescontainers-create — Create new folderscontainers-get — Get a single container with its AI instructionscontainers-update — Update a container (rename, move, change description)tags-list — List all tagstags-create — Create new tagsBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Hjarni MCP's toolset — search, notes-create, notes-get and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by hjarni; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
Issue tracking at the speed of conversation — Linear's official hosted server with OAuth and zero install.
Search and read your Drive — Docs, Sheets and files become context your assistant can actually use.
Your assistant inside the workspace — read channels, search history, post messages and tame the noise.
Metabase ships its own MCP endpoint — search your BI content, build and run queries, and save questions and dashboards without leaving the chat.
Stop letting your assistant hallucinate n8n node parameters — this server hands it the real schemas, templates and validation.
