parchmark-mcp
MCP server for managing ParchMark notes via Claude Code/Desktop.
Installation
# Run directly
uvx --from git+https://github.com/TejGandham/parchmark-mcp parchmark-mcp
# Or install
pip install git+https://github.com/TejGandham/parchmark-mcpRelated MCP server: MCP Notes Server
Upgrading
Caveat: the
uvx --from git+…install above is unpinned, butuvxcaches the resolved git commit and reuses it — it does not re-pull new commits on its own. New releases will not appear until you bust the cache:# Re-fetch the default-branch HEAD and rebuild the cached environment uvx --refresh --from git+https://github.com/TejGandham/parchmark-mcp parchmark-mcp # …or just clear this package's cache so the next launch re-resolves uv cache clean parchmark-mcpThen restart your MCP client (Claude Code/Desktop, opencode) so it relaunches the server — a running client keeps the old process until restarted. See docs/INSTALL.md for details and the
pip/uv pipequivalents.

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool has a completely distinct role: listing metadata, retrieving full content, creating, updating, and deleting. No overlap or ambiguity exists.
All tool names follow a strict verb_noun pattern (list_notes, get_note, create_note, update_note, delete_note), making the API highly predictable.
With exactly 5 tools covering a notes CRUD lifecycle, the server is well-scoped without redundancy or excess.
The full CRUD cycle is present: list/get for reading, create, update, and delete. No essential operation for a notes domain is missing.
