Note Post MCP

GitHub

The Universal MCP Server exposes tools for automated posting and draft saving to note.com. It reads Markdown files containing titles, body text, and tags, then publishes them to your note.com account using Playwright automation.

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+

  • A note.com account

  • note-state.json authentication state file (obtained via npm run login)

  • Set NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH in your environment (optional, defaults to ~/.note-state.json)

Install from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/Go-555/note-post-mcp.git
cd note-post-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Install Playwright Browser

npm run install-browser

This installs the Chromium browser required for automation.

Get an authentication state file

Run the login script to authenticate with note.com:

npm run login

A browser window will open. Log in to note.com, then press Enter in the terminal. This creates a ~/.note-state.json file containing your authentication state. Store this file securely and reference it via NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH or pass it as a parameter.

Or install from npm (if published)

npm install -g note-post-mcp

Related MCP server: xhs-mcp

Setup: Claude Code (CLI)

Use this one-liner (replace with your real values):

claude mcp add Note Post MCP -s user -e NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH="/path/to/note-state.json" -- npx @gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest

To remove:

claude mcp remove Note Post MCP

Setup: Cursor

Create .cursor/mcp.json in your client (do not commit it here):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "note-post-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH": "/path/to/note-state.json"
      },
      "autoStart": true
    }
  }
}

Other Clients and Agents

Install via URI or CLI:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"note-post-mcp","command":"npx","args":["@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"],"env":{"NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH":"/path/to/note-state.json"}}'

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "note-post-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH": "/path/to/note-state.json"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Command: npx

  • Args: ["@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"]

  • Env: NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH=/path/to/note-state.json

  • Type: STDIO

  • Command: npx

  • Args: @gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest

  • Enabled: true

Example ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "note-post-mcp": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"],
      "enabled": true,
      "env": {
        "NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH": "/path/to/note-state.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add a new MCP and paste the standard JSON config from above.

Add the following to your Windsurf MCP configuration:

{
  "note-post-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"],
    "env": {
      "NOTE_POST_MCP_STATE_PATH": "/path/to/note-state.json"
    }
  }
}

title: Your Article Title
tags: [tag1, tag2]
---

Your article body content goes here.

Or use a simple # heading for the title if no front matter is present:

# Your Article Title

Your article body content goes here.

Body Content Details

The body content supports the following Markdown elements:

Front Matter Format:

  • All lines after the closing --- of the front matter are treated as body content

  • Trailing blank lines are automatically trimmed

Heading Format:

  • The first line starting with # is treated as the title (not included in the body)

  • Headings with ## or ### are treated as part of the body content

Code Blocks:

  • Must have a closing fence (```)

  • Language specification is preserved

  • Entire code blocks are pasted as a unit

Image Insertion:

  • Use relative paths from the Markdown file: ![description](./images/sample.png)

  • Supports PNG, JPEG, and GIF formats

  • Local image files are automatically uploaded

Lists and Quotes:

  • Bullet lists (-) and numbered lists (1.) are automatically continued by note.com

  • Block quotes (>) are also automatically continued

  • Markdown symbols are processed automatically after the first line

Horizontal Rules:

  • --- in the body content is correctly processed as a horizontal rule

  • Blank lines immediately following horizontal rules are automatically skipped

URL Single Lines:

  • URLs on their own line are automatically expanded into link cards by note.com

  • YouTube and other embeds are also automatically processed

Example invocation (MCP tool call)

{
  "name": "publish_note",
  "arguments": {
    "markdown_path": "/path/to/article.md",
    "thumbnail_path": "/path/to/thumbnail.png",
    "state_path": "/path/to/note-state.json"
  }
}

For saving a draft:

{
  "name": "save_draft",
  "arguments": {
    "markdown_path": "/path/to/draft.md"
  }
}

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure your note-state.json file is valid and up-to-date. You may need to regenerate it if your session has expired.

  • Ensure Node 18+: Run node -v to verify your Node.js version.

  • Build errors: Run npm install and npm run build to ensure all dependencies are installed and TypeScript is compiled.

  • Local runs: After building, test locally with npx note-post-mcp (it will wait for MCP messages on stdin).

  • Inspect publish artifacts: Run npm pack --dry-run to see what files will be included in the published package.

  • Timeout issues: If operations are timing out, increase NOTE_POST_MCP_TIMEOUT or pass a larger timeout parameter.

  • Playwright browser not installed: Run npm run install-browser or npx playwright install chromium to install the required browser.

References

Name Consistency & Troubleshooting

  • Always use CANONICAL_ID (note-post-mcp) for identifiers and keys.

  • Use CANONICAL_DISPLAY (Note Post MCP) only for UI labels.

  • Do not mix different names across clients.

Consistency Matrix

  • npm package name → note-post-mcp

  • Binary name → note-post-mcp

  • MCP server name (SDK metadata) → note-post-mcp

  • Env default MCP_NAME → note-post-mcp

  • Client registry key → note-post-mcp

  • UI label → Note Post MCP

Conflict Cleanup

  • Remove any old entries with different names and re-add with note-post-mcp.

  • Ensure global .mcp.json or client registries only use note-post-mcp for keys.

  • Cursor: Configure in the UI only. This project does not include .cursor/mcp.json.

Example

  • Correct: "mcpServers": { "note-post-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@gonuts555/note-post-mcp@latest"] } }

  • Incorrect: Using different keys like "NotePost" or "note_post" (will conflict with note-post-mcp)

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions that the tool reads from a Markdown file and automatically posts, but lacks details on critical behaviors: authentication requirements (implied by 'state_path' but not explained), error handling, rate limits, or what happens on failure (e.g., if the file is invalid). For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence in Japanese that front-loads the core action ('記事を公開します') and explains the mechanism. It avoids redundancy and wastes no words, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separating key points). Every part of the sentence contributes to understanding the tool's function.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (a mutation tool with 5 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema), the description is incomplete. It lacks information on authentication, error handling, return values, or how it differs from 'save_draft'. While the schema covers parameters well, the description doesn't compensate for missing behavioral and contextual details needed for safe and effective use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema: it implies that 'markdown_path' contains title, body, and tags, but this is already stated in the schema's description for that parameter. No additional semantics or usage context are provided for other parameters, meeting the baseline for high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: '記事を公開します' (publishes an article) on note.com using a Markdown file. It specifies the action (publish), resource (article), and mechanism (reading from Markdown file). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'save_draft' (which likely saves rather than publishes), though the distinction is implied through the verb '公開' (publish).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention the sibling tool 'save_draft' or any other options, nor does it specify prerequisites (e.g., authentication state) or scenarios where this tool is preferred. Usage is implied only by the action of publishing, with no explicit context or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states basic functionality. It doesn't disclose behavioral traits like authentication needs (implied by 'state_path'), potential side effects, error handling, or rate limits, leaving significant gaps for a mutation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence in Japanese that front-loads the core purpose. It could be slightly more structured but avoids redundancy and is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what happens on success/failure, return values, or important constraints like authentication requirements, leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable use.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds minimal value by mentioning Markdown file content (title, body, tags) and optional thumbnail, but doesn't elaborate beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('保存します' - saves) and resource ('下書き' - draft) on 'note.com', specifying it reads from a Markdown file containing title, body, and tags. It distinguishes from sibling 'publish_note' by focusing on draft saving rather than publishing, though not explicitly contrasting them.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when you have a Markdown file to save as a draft, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus 'publish_note' or other alternatives. It mentions optional parameters but doesn't clarify prerequisites or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: 'publish_note' is for publishing articles publicly, while 'save_draft' is for saving drafts privately. There is no overlap in functionality, making it easy for an agent to choose the correct tool based on the desired outcome.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern ('publish_note' and 'save_draft'), using clear action verbs and the same noun. The naming is predictable and readable, with no deviations or mixed conventions.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for its apparent domain of note management on note.com. While publish and save draft are core operations, typical CRUD/lifecycle coverage would include tools for retrieving, updating, or deleting notes, making this set incomplete for robust agent workflows.

Completeness2/5

The tool surface is severely incomplete for note management. It lacks essential operations such as retrieving notes (e.g., list_notes, get_note), updating existing notes, deleting notes, or managing tags separately. This will cause agent failures when tasks require these missing actions.
