What is the Scrapbox Cosense MCP MCP server?

MCP server for cosense. Exposed over MCP by the scrapbox cosense mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

MCP server for Cosense (formerly Scrapbox).

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • Flag — Description
  • Required — The Required tool exposed by this server
  • Optional — The Optional tool exposed by this server
  • Contributing — 1. Create a feature branch from main 2. Add tests for your changes 3. Run npm run lint && npm test 4. Create a pull request — CI runs automatically

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: COSENSE_PROJECT_NAME, COSENSE_SID. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at scrapbox-cosense-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

When to reach for it

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Scrapbox Cosense MCP's toolset — Flag, Required, Optional and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by worldnine; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Scrapbox Cosense MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the scrapbox cosense mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
