About Reflect MCP Server
Connect your Reflect account securely to your AI agent via their developer API. This integration grants your AI the ability to directly explore your networked thought graph, lookup personal notes, manage book highlights, and append daily thoughts asynchronously from your conversation interface.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Reflect into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Reflect and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Explore Your Graph — Direct your AI to investigate connected insights within your Reflect graphs (
list_graphs). Request lists of your notes (list_notes) or retrieve the specific Markdown content of a single note (get_note). - Capture Ideas Instantly — Ask the agent to establish new permanent notes (
create_note) or quickly dump conversational insights, summaries, and tasks straight into your daily note (append_daily_note). - Analyze Connections — Instruct the AI to map out your thoughts by retrieving all backlinks pointing to a specific subject (
get_backlinks). - Save Links & Books — Let your AI automatically bookmark URLs (
create_link), browse your saved bookmarks (list_links), or explore your imported library of book highlights (list_books).
The Reflect MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
