Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@flomo-mcpcreate a note about my project ideas"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
flomo-mcp MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that implements a simple notes system. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
Resources representing text notes with URIs and metadata
Tools for creating new notes
Prompts for generating summaries of notes
Features
Resources
List and access notes via
note://URIsEach note has a title, content and metadata
Plain text mime type for simple content access
Tools
create_note- Create new text notesTakes title and content as required parameters
Stores note in server state
Prompts
summarize_notes- Generate a summary of all stored notesIncludes all note contents as embedded resources
Returns structured prompt for LLM summarization

Development
Install dependencies:
npm installBuild the server:
npm run buildFor development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watchInstallation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"flomo-mcp": {
"command": "/path/to/flomo-mcp/build/index.js"
}
}
}Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspectorThe Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'Write' which implies a mutation operation, but doesn't specify authentication requirements, rate limits, whether the note is saved permanently, or what happens on success/failure. This leaves significant behavioral gaps for a write operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at just three words ('Write note to flomo'), with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and efficiently communicates the essential purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a write operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what happens after writing (success confirmation, error handling, where the note appears), nor does it provide important behavioral context needed for a mutation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already fully documents the single 'content' parameter with its type and format. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's in the schema, 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Write note') and target resource ('to flomo'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, with no sibling tools mentioned, it cannot demonstrate differentiation from alternatives, so it doesn't reach the highest score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, prerequisites, or contextual constraints. It simply states what the tool does without any usage instructions or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of overlap or misselection. Its purpose (write note to flomo) is completely distinct and unambiguous.
The single tool name write_note follows a clear verb_noun snake_case convention. With no other tools to compare, it is consistent by default.
A single tool is too few for a flomo integration, which typically would include reading, listing, searching, or managing notes. The surface feels under-scoped for the server's apparent domain.
The server only supports writing notes; there is no way to retrieve, list, search, update, or delete notes. This leaves significant gaps for any agent needing to interact with existing flomo content.
