Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides MCP server tools that GitHub Copilot can use to search, add, list, export notes, ask questions, and generate notes from markdown collections using semantic search and AI. Integrates with Google Gemini AI models to enable question answering and note generation based on the content of markdown notes.

How do I use Markdown Notes MCP?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Markdown Notes MCP search for notes about neural networks" 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.

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables

Customize the behavior using environment variables:

# Set embedding model
set MCP_MODEL_NAME=all-mpnet-base-v2

# Set chunk size for text processing
set MCP_CHUNK_SIZE=200

# Set chunk overlap
set MCP_OVERLAP=50

# Set environment

Configuration File

The system uses config.py for advanced configuration. You can modify:

Embedding model settings
Text chunking parameters
File paths for index and metadata
Server configuration

Fallback Systems

The CLI includes multiple fallback systems for maximum reliability:

MCP Server Fallback: Falls back to simple implementation if full MCP unavailable
Text Search Fallback: Uses basic text matching if semantic search fails
Export Fallback: Falls back to text format if PDF/HTML generation fails
Directory Creation: Automatically creates notes directory if missing

📚 Examples

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Import Errors:

# Check dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Verify Python path
python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

2. Search Not Working:

# Rebuild index
python mcp_cli_fixed.py rebuild-index

# Check if notes directory exists
dir notes\*.md

3. JSON Serialization Errors (FIXED!):

# This now works automatically
python mcp_cli_fixed.py list-notes --format json

4. Export Functionality (NEW!):

# Export search results
python mcp_cli_fixed.py search "query" --export results.json --format json

5. Server Not Starting:

# Check port availability
netstat -an | findstr :8181

# Try different port
python mcp_cli_fixed.py server --port 8080

6. Rebuild Index Issues (FIXED!):

# Now supports all arguments
python mcp_cli_fixed.py rebuild-index --chunk-size 300 --overlap 100

Debug Mode

Enable debug output for troubleshooting:

# Run with verbose output
python mcp_cli_fixed.py search "test" --limit 3

Recent Fixes

✅ JSON datetime serialization - Fixed datetime objects in JSON output
✅ Search export functionality - Added --export argument to search command
✅ Rebuild-index arguments - Fixed argument parsing and directory handling
✅ Server threading issues - Fixed import and threading problems
✅ Syntax errors - All f-string and compilation errors fixed
✅ Fallback systems - Multiple fallback implementations for reliability
