mcp-server-sample — Servidor MCP mínimo para guardar y buscar notas
Es un servidor MCP mínimo que solo guarda y busca notas. No se conecta a ningún sistema externo. El almacenamiento es un único archivo notes.json en la misma carpeta.
Incluye los tres primitivos de MCP, uno de cada uno.

Configuración
git clone https://github.com/utakatano/mcp-server-sample.git
cd mcp-server-sample
npm installSi npm install se ejecuta correctamente, la configuración está lista. En este punto no se inicia. El servidor MCP lo inicia la aplicación de IA, por lo que no es necesario ejecutarlo desde la terminal.

Ve a Configuración → Developer → «Edit Config» para abrir claude_desktop_config.json y añade lo siguiente.
{
"mcpServers": {
"notes": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/絶対パス/mcp-server-sample/index.js"]
}
}
}Después de guardar, cierra completamente Claude Desktop y vuelve a iniciarlo (cerrar la ventana no es suficiente).

Verificación de funcionamiento

Cambiar la ubicación de almacenamiento
Pasando una ruta absoluta a la variable de entorno NOTES_FILE, se puede cambiar la ubicación de almacenamiento.

}
}
}Cuando no se conecta
Primero revisa los registros (logs). La causa suele aparecer allí.

Para determinar si el problema está en el servidor o en la aplicación de IA, lo más rápido es probar directamente desde la terminal.
printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{"_meta":{"io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion":"2026-07-28"}}}\n' \
| node /絶対パス/mcp-server-sample/index.jsSi se devuelve un JSON que contiene add_note y search_notes, el servidor funciona correctamente. En ese caso, revisa la configuración de la aplicación de IA (ruta, formato JSON, reinicio).

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states '保存する' which implies mutation, but it does not disclose potential side effects, permissions, or behavior on duplicates. For a simple create operation, this is minimally adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the essential action. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is fairly complete. It explains the primary use case and differentiates from the sibling. It could mention the return value but is not required.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with both parameters described. The tool's description adds no new information about the parameters; it only restates the purpose. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb '保存する' (save) and resource 'メモ' (note), and it is distinct from the sibling tool 'search_notes' which is for retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It provides explicit context for when to use: '打ち合わせの決定事項や、あとで思い出したいことを記録するときに使う' (use when recording meeting decisions or things you want to remember later). It does not explicitly exclude other scenarios, but the purpose is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It states search targets both body text and tags, but lacks details on whether searches are case-sensitive, support partial matches, or have rate limits. It does not mention return format or pagination. The description adds modest value but is insufficient for a tool lacking annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is concise and front-loaded with the action and target, then expands on scope. Every phrase adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool is simple (1 parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is minimally adequate. It covers the search target and scope. However, it omits any mention of results behavior (e.g., whether it returns full notes or summaries) and does not compensate for missing annotations, but the low complexity reduces the burden.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter 'keyword'. The description adds meaningful context by specifying that keyword searches both body and tags, which the schema description ('検索キーワード') does not convey. This enriches the semantic understanding beyond the schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly specifies the action (検索する), the target (保存済みのメモ), and the search scope (本文とタグの両方). It distinguishes from add_note, which creates notes. However, it does not explicitly contrast the two, leaving a slight gap in sibling differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for keyword search but gives no guidance on when to use this vs. add_note, nor does it mention any context or prerequisites for searching. No exclusion criteria or alternative scenarios are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: one creates/ stores a note, the other retrieves notes via search. There is no overlap or ambiguity between writing and searching.
Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (add_note, search_notes) using lowercase with underscores. The naming is predictable and clear.
With only 2 tools, the set feels minimal. While the tools cover basic create and read/search operations, the server's purpose (saving and retrieving notes) could reasonably include more tools (e.g., update, delete, list tags) to avoid being overly thin.
The domain is a personal note-taking system, but only add and search operations are provided. Missing critical operations like update, delete, and get all notes (without search) create significant gaps that would frustrate or block a typical agent workflow.
