# Evernote MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Claude Desktop to Evernote, enabling you to list notebooks/notes and create new notes directly from conversations.
## Features
- **list_notebooks** — List all notebooks in your Evernote account
- **list_notes** — List notes, optionally filtered by notebook
- **get_note** — Get a specific note's content
- **create_note** — Create a new note (supports Markdown)
- **search_notes** — Search notes by query
## Setup
### 1. Get Evernote API Credentials
1. Go to [Evernote Developer Portal](https://dev.evernote.com)
2. Request an API key
3. Complete OAuth flow to get an access token
### 2. Configure Environment
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your credentials:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env`:
```
EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token-here
EVERNOTE_ENVIRONMENT=production # or "sandbox" for testing
EVERNOTE_USE_MOCK=false
```
### 3. Build Docker Image
```bash
docker build -t evernote-mcp .
```
### 4. Configure Claude Desktop
Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"evernote": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run", "-i", "--rm",
"-e", "EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN",
"-e", "EVERNOTE_ENVIRONMENT",
"evernote-mcp"
],
"env": {
"EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-access-token-here",
"EVERNOTE_ENVIRONMENT": "production"
}
}
}
}
```
### 5. Restart Claude Desktop
After configuring, restart Claude Desktop. You should see Evernote tools available.
## Development
### Testing with Mock Client
For development without Evernote credentials, use the mock client:
```bash
EVERNOTE_USE_MOCK=true python -m evernote_mcp.server
```
### Testing with MCP Inspector
```bash
EVERNOTE_USE_MOCK=true mcp dev src/evernote_mcp/server.py
```
### Running Tests
```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
```
## Usage Examples
Once configured, you can ask Claude:
- "List my Evernote notebooks"
- "Show me notes in my Work notebook"
- "Create a note titled 'Meeting Notes' with the following content..."
- "Search for notes about 'project planning'"
