Learning MCP: tiny notes server with five tools

Examples

# claude_desktop_config.json  (use ABSOLUTE paths: Claude does not
# run from the repo directory, so a bare "server.py" is not found)
# {
#   "mcpServers": {
#     "notes-box": {
#       "command": "python",
#       "args": ["/abs/path/to/my-mcp-server-kit/server.py"],
#       "env": {"MCP_NOTES_FILE": "/abs/path/to/notes.json"}
#     }
#   }
# }
python server.py --help

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt

Features

Atomic saves (temp file + os.replace) behind a write lock
Includes a Claude Desktop config snippet with absolute paths
Notes path set by MCP_NOTES_FILE or --notes-file
Five tools: add / get / update / delete / list notes
Every tool carries a real docstring, so clients get descriptions
A missing note raises instead of returning the string 'not found'
