mcp-notes-server
Learning MCP: tiny notes server with five tools
Highlights
Notes path set by MCP_NOTES_FILE or --notes-file
Includes a Claude Desktop config snippet with absolute paths
A missing note raises instead of returning the string 'not found'
Five tools: add / get / update / delete / list notes
Atomic saves (temp file + os.replace) behind a write lock
Every tool carries a real docstring, so clients get descriptions
Related MCP server: notes-box
Usage
# 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/mcp-notes-server/server.py"],
# "env": {"MCP_NOTES_FILE": "/abs/path/to/notes.json"}
# }
# }
# }
