What is the 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.
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).
How it works
- Authorize the Reflect MCP plugin in your active extensions.
- Obtain your personal OAuth Access Token from your Reflect application settings (reflect.app/developer/oauth) and embed it securely into the integration.
- Chat naturally with your AI, prompting tasks like "Append a summary of this conversation to my daily note" or "List all notes connected to 'AI Strategy'."
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Writers — Interactively synthesize information. Have your AI recall connected ideas from your graph while you brainstorm, without switching apps.
- Founders & Execs — Seamlessly capture action items. Simply ask your assistant to log decisions and links directly into today's daily note.
- Knowledge Workers — Transform your AI into a personalized knowledge broker that understands your private context and highlights instantly.

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent create new graphs from scratch?
No. The AI via the MCP can fully manage notes, generate fresh links, and organize entries, but you must create top-level workspaces (Graphs) directly within the native Reflect desktop or web applications first.
Will `append_daily_note` overwrite my existing notes for today?
No, append_daily_note strictly adds the provided Markdown blocks to the very bottom of today's Daily Note section in Reflect. It is a completely safe, non-destructive operation preserving your older notes intact.
Can I search notes by standard keywords instead of IDs?
The underlying Reflect API largely focuses on ID-based lookups (note_id). You can request the AI to first list_notes which provides titles for semantic checking, and then it can dynamically chain the ID lookup to read your specific content immediately after.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
