logseq-api-mcp
Provides tools to read, write, query, and search a Logseq knowledge graph via its HTTP API, enabling AI agents to manage pages, blocks, properties, and perform full-text search and Datalog queries.
Click on "Install Server".
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., "@logseq-api-mcpsearch my notes for '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.
logseq-api-mcp
Your AI assistant starts every session blind to your Logseq knowledge graph. logseq-api-mcp fixes that: 21 tools to read, write, query, and search your notes — auto-registered the moment you drop a Python file into src/tools/.
Quick Start
Step 1 — Install
git clone https://github.com/gustavo-meilus/logseq-api-mcp.git
cd logseq-api-mcp
uv syncStep 2 — Configure
cp .env.template .env
# open .env and set LOGSEQ_API_ENDPOINT and LOGSEQ_API_TOKENGetting your token: open Logseq, go to Settings → Features → Developer mode, enable HTTP APIs server, and copy the token shown. The default endpoint is http://127.0.0.1:12315/api.
Step 3 — Connect

DB-Mode
Logseq's newer database format stores graph data in SQLite rather than markdown files. Set LOGSEQ_DB_MODE=true to unlock set_block_properties, UUID-reference resolution in get_all_page_content, and Datalog-powered queries in find_pages_by_property. Tools that do not apply in DB-mode return a clear error rather than silently failing.
Privacy
Any page tagged with a tag from LOGSEQ_EXCLUDE_TAGS disappears from every read operation. Enforcement runs at query time, so toggling the variable takes effect immediately.
Operation | Behavior when page is excluded |
| Excluded pages absent from the listing |
| Excluded pages and their blocks stripped from results |
| Results post-filtered against excluded page names |
| Results post-filtered |
| Excluded source pages removed |
| Returns |
Adding a Tool
Create src/tools/my_tool.py. No imports, no registration, no config changes needed. The discovery system picks it up on the next server start.
from typing import List
from mcp.types import TextContent
from src.client.logseq_client import LogseqClient
from src.client.config import LogseqConfig, load_config
from src.logging_setup import get_logger
_log = get_logger(__name__)
async def _run(
client: LogseqClient, config: LogseqConfig, param: str
) -> List[TextContent]:
try:
_log.debug("%s called", __name__)
result = await client.some_api_method(param)
return [TextContent(type="text", text=str(result))]
except Exception as exc:
_log.error("exception in %s: %s", __name__, exc, exc_info=True)
return [TextContent(type="text", text=f"❌ Error: {exc}")]
async def my_tool(param: str) -> List[TextContent]:
"""One-line description — this becomes the MCP tool description."""
cfg = load_config()
return await _run(LogseqClient(cfg), cfg, param)The _run(client, config, ...) pattern keeps the logic testable via FakeLogseqClient in tests/conftest.py. Function names starting with _ are not registered.
