Standard Notes MCP. Securely manage notes, tags, and private data inside your vault.

Standard Notes MCP Server - Encrypted Note & Tag Management

Listen up, 'cause this thing lets your AI client talk directly to your Standard Notes vault—and it's fully encrypted. You don't gotta worry about copy-pasting sensitive drafts or exporting logs just to give your agent something to chew on. This server gives your agent the tools to read, write, and organize all your private data using tags, keeping everything locked down inside the Standard Notes system.

Getting Your Data Into Play
You start by pulling what you need. You can run list_notes to grab a quick list of every note title in your vault; it'll show you the unique IDs too. If you wanna see the full details for just one item—a note, tag, or extension—you use get_item_details with its UUID.

To track down all the organizational categories, run list_tags, which lists every defined tag and its ID in your account structure.

Building and Modifying Content
When you need to write something new, you kick it off with create_note, passing in a title and the full body text for an entirely fresh, encrypted note. If that existing draft needs tweaking, don't recreate it; just use update_note. You give it the target note's UUID and the fresh text, and boom, the content gets replaced.

Organizing Your Notes with Tags
You gotta keep track of this stuff. To start a new category, you run create_tag to build a brand-new tag in your account’s taxonomy. Once that's done, if you wanna link a tag to an existing note, you use tag_note, supplying both the required UUIDs for the item and the tag.

Maintenance and Cleanup
When you make changes—any changes—you gotta pull everything together with sync_items. This runs a full sync, making sure your local context matches whatever's on the official Standard Notes server. If an item is garbage or outdated, you use delete_item to wipe it out forever by its unique UUID; remember, that action is permanent and irreversible.

The Full Scope of Control
For setup purposes, if your agent needs credentials for a specific account email address, it calls get_auth_parameters. These tools let you manage the entire lifecycle of your secure knowledge base. You can create notes (create_note), change them (update_note), and link tags (tag_note). You'll also always know what's available by listing titles (list_notes) or pulling full item details (get_item_details).

Don’t forget you can manage the organizational structure itself—you create tags (create_tag), list them all (list_tags), and then delete whatever trash is hanging around using delete_item. Finally, running sync_items keeps everything current with Standard Notes.
