Map Your Knowledge with Claude Desktop

The `get_space_info` and `list_spaces` tools let Claude read the exact architecture of your personal knowledge base. Your agent pulls all object types and property definitions straight into the context window. It knows exactly how your specific environment is configured before trying to write anything. Once Claude understands the layout, it uses `get_structures` to grab metadata parameters. You ask for a summary of a specific project, and the agent navigates the exact hierarchy you built. Nothing gets lost in translation between your local files and your cloud notes.

Write Daily Notes via MCP Server

Pushing text directly into your daily log happens through the `save_to_daily_note` tool. Claude takes the outputs of your current conversation and appends strict Markdown blocks right to today's entry. You skip the copy-paste routine entirely. For more complex entries, the agent triggers `create_object` to instantiate typed entities based on your graph rules. It handles the formatting and structure automatically. You just tell Claude what to document, and the record appears in the right space.

Search and Connect Graph Items

The `lookup` tool gives your client the ability to search across a specific space by title or explicit keywords. Claude tracks down exact nodes and reads them using `get_object` to bring full explicit objects into the chat. You get answers based on your actual notes, not training data. Organizing these findings is just as direct. Your agent applies structural categorical links using `add_tag` or attaches payloads via `save_media` and `save_weblink`. Every new piece of information gets bound to the right existing record scope immediately.
