What is the Standard Notes MCP Server?
The Standard Notes MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Standard Notes via 10 tools. Connect your AI to the Standard Notes encrypted ecosystem. Sync items natively, modify protected notes, and manage tags seamlessly. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Standard Notes
Ask your AI agent "List all active tags in my vault. Next, read out the title and UUID strings of my notes so I can assign categorizations properly." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Standard Notes data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Standard Notes MCP Server capabilities
10 toolsProvide plaintext title and text; encryption is handled by the sync layer. Creates a new encrypted note
Creates a new tag
This action is irreversible. Permanently deletes an item (note, tag, or extension) by UUID
Retrieves authentication parameters for an account email
Retrieves a specific item (note, tag, or extension) by UUID
Note content remains encrypted until decrypted with user keys. Lists all encrypted notes
Lists all tags defined in the account
Use the sync_token from the previous response. Performs a Standard Notes sync operation
Requires both the tag UUID and the note UUID. Associates a tag with a note
Updates an existing note by UUID
What the Standard Notes MCP Server unlocks
Seamlessly integrate your highly secure Standard Notes environments directly into your local AI workflows. Eliminate the friction of manually transferring encrypted data or research logs into your conversational interface. Empower your assistant to execute encrypted synchronizations, draft new secure notes, and systematically organize your knowledge base with precise tag management across your entire architecture.
What you can do
- Knowledge Retrieval — Securely list your encrypted notes via
list_notesor retrieve specific detailed payloads using theget_item_detailsroutine. - Automated Drafting — Command the agent to generate new structural content and save it securely via
create_note, or surgically update existing drafts throughupdate_note. - Vault Maintenance — Maintain a clean workspace by permanently removing deprecated assets via
delete_item, and keep local context synchronized with the official server usingsync_items. - Taxonomy & Organization — Streamline categorization by generating new organizational folders with
create_tag, retrieving current structures withlist_tags, and associating tags to specific items utilizingtag_note.
How it works
1. Attach the Standard Notes MCP integration securely to your AI terminal.
2. Configure your endpoint URL (Official Cloud or Self-Hosted) along with your valid JWT Access Token.
3. Instruct your AI: "Retrieve the 'Project Alpha' note, update its contents with today's action items, and assign it the 'Priority' tag."
Who is this for?
- Privacy-focused Researchers — Aggregate massive data logs using AI to pull notes, summarize them locally, and append new research securely without compromising client-side architecture.
- Knowledge Architects & PKM Users — Orchestrate seamless taxonomy alignments by instructing the AI to methodically analyze and map untagged notes.
- System Administrators — Automate the documentation of server incidents or deployment logs directly into a self-hosted encrypted database.
Frequently asked questions about the Standard Notes MCP Server
If I am self-hosting Standard Notes on my own server, can this integration still connect to it?
Absolutely. The SN_SERVER_URL parameter allows complete flexibility. You can use the official https://api.standardnotes.com endpoint, or simply provide the custom domain pointing to your private server infrastructure.
Are my encrypted notes fully exposed to the AI model during a query?
The server passes local encrypted blocks down to the MCP layer. While list_notes primarily retrieves metadata and structural UUIDs, executing an extraction using get_item_details or writing entirely new content via create_note will securely transmit standard text directly to the model's localized context.
What is the purpose of the 'sync_items' functionality?
Standard Notes employs a client-side database synchronization architecture. The sync_items module retrieves exclusively the differences or modifications made since the execution of your last tracked sync_token. It ensures local operational states match the remote vault natively.
