Note: This is the public home for the aNotepad MCP server. aNotepad is a remote, hosted MCP server — there's nothing to install or run. You connect your AI client straight to the hosted endpoint below and sign in with your aNotepad account. The server source lives in the private aNotepad codebase; this repo holds the registry manifest, docs, and branding.

Connection

Transport	Streamable HTTP

Quick start

Make sure your aNotepad account is on the Pro or Max plan.
In your AI client's settings, add an MCP server with URL https://api.anotepad.com/mcp.
The client opens a browser window to sign in to aNotepad and approve access.
Ask things like "summarize my recipe collection" or "find the note where I saved that GitHub link."

What's not exposed

Some operations stay on the web app, by design:

Setting note passwords — removing a password is fine; setting a new value via AI is blocked (it would land in chat transcripts).
File uploads — AI can list, download, and delete attachments, but new uploads go through the web app.
Account / billing changes — plan changes, payment methods, etc. are web-app only.
Creator wallet setup — switching a note to Paid is supported, but the one-time wallet/email verification must be done in the web app first.

Privacy & security

The AI sees only your own notes and their comments — never other users' notes or your account/billing data.
Comments on public notes are wrapped in <untrusted-comment> markers in tool responses, signaling to the AI that the text is data, not instructions — a defense against prompt injection.
Destructive tools (delete, change access, send email) are marked destructive, so most clients require an extra approval prompt.
Note content and passwords are never written to server logs.

Rate limits

Plan	Tool calls / min	New notes / day	Emails / hour
Pro	60	1,000	10
Max	300	5,000	10

Limits are per user, shared across all connected clients.
