Document code changes directly to your secure vault

Cursor lets you write technical documentation and push it straight to your zero-knowledge notes. By calling `create_note`, the editor packages your code snippets and explanations into encrypted envelopes. This means you never have to copy-paste logs or configuration files into browser windows. The agent commits the text to your sync server instantly, protecting your intellectual property.

Run an MCP Server to locate files and notebooks

Search your developer journals without leaving your active workspace. The editor calls `list_notebooks` and `list_tags` to help you find specific technical guides or API keys stored in your vault. Cursor uses these tools to cross-reference your current codebase with past notes. It maps out your tag hierarchy so you can find solutions you documented months ago.

Synchronize and update documentation on the fly

Keep your architectural notes current as your codebase evolves. The agent triggers `update_note` to modify specific sections of your design documents and force re-encryption via the local MCP server. It then runs `sync_items` to reconcile these updates with your main Notesnook account. This prevents merge conflicts between your local editor state and your mobile devices.
