Implementation Reference
- The complete implementation of the 'view_note' MCP tool. This includes the handler function logic, input schema defined by parameters and docstring, and automatic registration via the @mcp.tool decorator. The function fetches note content using read_note and formats it as a markdown artifact for display.
@mcp.tool( description="View a note as a formatted artifact for better readability.", ) async def view_note( identifier: str, project: Optional[str] = None, page: int = 1, page_size: int = 10, context: Context | None = None, ) -> str: """View a markdown note as a formatted artifact. This tool reads a note using the same logic as read_note but instructs Claude to display the content as a markdown artifact in the Claude Desktop app. Project parameter optional with server resolution. Args: identifier: The title or permalink of the note to view project: Project name to read from. Optional - server will resolve using hierarchy. If unknown, use list_memory_projects() to discover available projects. page: Page number for paginated results (default: 1) page_size: Number of items per page (default: 10) context: Optional FastMCP context for performance caching. Returns: Instructions for Claude to create a markdown artifact with the note content. Examples: # View a note by title view_note("Meeting Notes") # View a note by permalink view_note("meetings/weekly-standup") # View with pagination view_note("large-document", page=2, page_size=5) # Explicit project specification view_note("Meeting Notes", project="my-project") Raises: HTTPError: If project doesn't exist or is inaccessible SecurityError: If identifier attempts path traversal """ track_mcp_tool("view_note") logger.info(f"Viewing note: {identifier} in project: {project}") # Call the existing read_note logic content = await read_note.fn(identifier, project, page, page_size, context) # Check if this is an error message (note not found) if "# Note Not Found" in content: return content # Return error message directly # Return instructions for Claude to create an artifact return dedent(f""" Note retrieved: "{identifier}" Display this note as a markdown artifact for the user.
