Manages markdown notes within a specified directory using the Model Context Protocol.
Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. Notes MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Manages markdown notes within a specified directory using the Model Context Protocol.
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation that manages markdown notes in a given directory. The server provides functionality to create, read, and update markdown notes using the stdio transport.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
create_note — Parameters: - title: The title of the note (required) - content: The content of the note (optional, defaults to empty string)read_note — Parameters: - title: The title of the note to read (required)update_note — Parameters: - title: The title of the note to update (required) - content: The new content for the note (optional, defaults to empty string)list_notes — Returns: - notes: Array of note objects, each containing: - title: The title of the note - path: The full path to the file - created_at: ISOSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.
Configuration is passed through the environment: PYTHONIOENCODING. 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.
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. Notes's toolset — create_note, read_note, update_note and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by nathannj; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
