A simple note-taking MCP server for recording and managing notes with AI models.
Mcpnotes mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with MCPNotes directly. A simple note-taking MCP server for recording and managing notes with AI models.
This project includes two servers: a Node.js server using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI-driven note management and a web server providing a user-friendly interface for manual interaction with your notes.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 6 tools directly:
Cody — The Cody tool exposed by this serverCline — The Cline tool exposed by this serverlistNotes — The listNotes tool exposed by this servergetNote — The getNote tool exposed by this serverwriteNote — The writeNote tool exposed by this serverdeleteNote — The deleteNote tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Productivity servers pay off through capture: the tasks and notes that never get filed are the ones where opening the app is more friction than the thought is worth. MCPNotes sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Cody, Cline, listNotes among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other productivity servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
