What aNotepad MCP server does

The aNotepad MCP server gives compatible AI clients access to notes stored in aNotepad. Its tools cover note retrieval and search, note creation and editing, version history, collections, comments, attachments, bookmarks, downloads, and email delivery. Access is limited to the authenticated user's notes and comments; account, billing, and other users' data are not exposed.

The hosted service is intended for conversational workflows. For example, an assistant can locate a note containing a saved link, summarize a collection of recipes, create a new note, or move an existing note into a collection. Destructive actions such as deletion, access changes, and sending email are marked as destructive and may require confirmation in the client.

How it works

Connect an MCP client to https://api.anotepad.com/mcp using Streamable HTTP. The client starts an OAuth 2.1 flow with PKCE and dynamic client registration, then opens a browser for aNotepad sign-in and authorization. There is no API key to create or store, and nothing needs to be installed locally because the service is hosted remotely.

The account must use aNotepad Pro or Max. Limits are shared across connected clients. Pro allows 60 tool calls per minute, 1,000 new notes per day, and 10 emails per hour. Max allows 300 tool calls per minute, 5,000 new notes per day, and the same 10-email hourly limit.

Setup and configuration

In Claude Desktop, add a custom connector under the settings area and provide the endpoint URL. In Cursor, add a new MCP server, choose HTTP / SSE, and use the same URL. After saving, complete the browser authorization flow. MCP Inspector can also test the endpoint by selecting Streamable HTTP and connecting to the URL.

The aNotepad MCP server requires no environment variables or local process configuration. A supported paid plan and an AI client that can connect to the endpoint are the main prerequisites.

Tools and capabilities

The 22 tools are grouped into these areas:

• Notes: list, retrieve, search, create, update, and delete notes.
• Versions: list versions, retrieve a version, and restore a previous version.
• Export and email: obtain a download URL or email a note.
• Collections: list and create collections, move notes, and delete collections.
• Comments: list comments, view recent comments, create comments, and delete comments.
• Files and bookmarks: list or download note files, delete attachments, and manage bookmarks.

Limitations and notes

AI-based file uploads are not available; new attachments must be added through the aNotepad web app. Setting a new note password is also blocked, although removing a password is supported. Plan changes, payment methods, and other account or billing operations remain web-app tasks.

Creator wallet setup and one-time email verification must be completed on the website before switching a note to Paid. Public-note comments are marked as untrusted data in tool responses to help distinguish comment text from instructions. Note content and passwords are not written to server logs. The repository contains documentation and a registry manifest under MIT; the hosted service and its source code are proprietary.
