Search Amplenote notes directly from Claude Desktop

The `search_notes` tool lets you query your Amplenote workspace directly from Claude Desktop. You can run a full-text search across your entire workspace or pull up your whole knowledge tree with `list_notes` right inside your chat window. If you're cleaning up your organization system, the agent can call `list_tags` to see exactly how you categorize your thoughts. It pulls the raw data right into your local sidebar, keeping your research flow completely uninterrupted.

Manage your task inbox with this MCP Server

The `create_task` tool lets you manage your Amplenote to-do list inside Claude Desktop. You can dump raw thoughts into chat and let the agent turn them into structured action items with due dates and priorities, or update existing ones using `update_task`. When you need to review what is left on your plate, the agent runs `list_tasks` or `get_task` to pull a live status report. It keeps your daily to-do list synced without you opening a single web browser tab.

Live document editing in your chat

The `create_note` tool lets you draft and save new workspace documents directly from Claude Desktop. The agent runs this tool to spin up a new Markdown file or uses `update_note` to append fresh ideas to an existing document. If you're cleaning up your workspace, the agent checks what is possible with `get_note_actions` or purges outdated drafts using `delete_note`. You get direct control over your knowledge base from a single local command interface.
