MCP evaluations for Simplenote MCP Server
Connect Simplenote to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP evaluations for Simplenote MCP Server. The simplenote mcp server is what makes that connection.
This allows Claude Desktop to interact with your Simplenote notes as a memory backend or content source.
@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
create_note — Create a new noteupdate_note — Replace full note content (destructive)delete_note — Soft-delete: move note to Trashrestore_note — Untrash a note — move it back from Trashpermanent_delete_note — Irreversibly destroy a single note (requires confirm=true)empty_trash — Permanently delete all trashed notes (dry-run by default)get_note — Get a note by ID with full content and metadataadd_text — Append or prepend text without overwritingsearch_notes — Full-text search with filters and paginationadd_tags — Add tags to a noteremove_tags — Remove specific tags from a notereplace_tags — Replace all tags on a noteConfiguration is passed through the environment: SIMPLENOTE_EMAIL, SIMPLENOTE_PASSWORD, CACHE_MAX_SIZE, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_HTTP_AUTH_TOKEN. 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.
Among the planning and project tracking 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. Simplenote's toolset — create_note, update_note, delete_note and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by docdyhr; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
