Tools for your AI Agents to operate Tana
Ask your AI agent "Add a new conceptual outline to my Inbox. The main title should be 'Quarterly Product Strategy', and it should contain three specific child nodes functioning as checkable tasks." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Tana 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.

Provide a target node ID (or "INBOX", "LIBRARY") and the node name. Creates a new node in a specific Tana location
Provide a label and the target node ID. Creates a reference node linking to an existing node
Provide a name and comma-separated children. Creates a parent node with multiple child nodes
Provide name, supertag ID, and field data as a JSON object. Creates a supertagged node with structured field values
g. #meeting, #person). Requires the supertag ID from Tana schema. Creates a new node with a supertag applied
Quickly adds a new node directly to the Tana Inbox
Creates a URL-typed node in Tana
Provide a name and description. Defines a new supertag in the Tana schema
What the Tana MCP Server unlocks
Translate your AI conversation into structured personal knowledge management seamlessly with the Tana MCP connector. Evolve your LLM into a dedicated ontological architect capable of pushing rich, contextual data fragments straight into your workspace. Bypass tedious manual entry by programming your assistant to dynamically categorize thoughts, mint native ontological classes (Supertags), and instantiate multi-level hierarchies inside your Tana graph while maintaining maximum focus in your local environment.
What you can do
- Node Structuring — Swiftly inject clean data fragments anywhere by defining paths invoking
add_nodeor securely drop ideations asynchronously into your capture zone utilizingadd_to_inbox. - Ontology & Metadata — Formalize data classifications mapping real-world objects using
define_supertagand instantiate them powerfully utilizingadd_tagged_nodeandadd_node_with_fields. - Hierarchy & Linking — Push whole outline structures programmatically executing
add_node_with_childrenand enforce complex bi-directional network paths executingadd_node_reference. - Specialized Datatypes — Effortlessly instantiate formatted daily operations leveraging
add_checkbox_task, temporal entries mappingadd_date_node, or external resources resolving viaadd_url_bookmark.
How it works
1. Append the generic Tana matrix module correctly inside your Vinkius connective logic workspace.
2. Obtain an active TANA_API_TOKEN (reserved to Tana Plus/Pro accounts) within Workspace Settings and enforce its security parameter within your local environment.
3. Prompt graph inputs naturally: "Send a structured meeting note to my inbox with the 'Agenda' supertag, and include three checkbox tasks as its children."
Who is this for?
- Knowledge Workers — Programmatically dispatch asynchronous memos, capturing multi-tiered references avoiding heavy manual logging friction.
- Productivity Systems Engineers — Solidify operational ontologies strictly managing Supertag instantiations verifying schemas systematically.
- Researchers & Analysts — Build deep graph linkages seamlessly tying bookmarks, date blocks, and deep nested lists via streamlined prompt interactions.
Frequently asked questions about the Tana MCP Server
Can it apply Supertags with pre-filled fields?
Yes. Use add_node_with_fields to create a node with a specific Supertag and populate its attributes in a single call.
Are there limits on nested hierarchies?
No practical limits beyond your token window. The add_node_with_children tool accepts arrays of child nodes and populates the hierarchy in a single request.
Which Tana plan is required?
API access is available on Tana Plus and Pro plans. Free accounts do not have API tokens. Generate your token from Workspace Settings in the Tana web app.
