What is the Standard Notes MCP Server?
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
- Attach the Standard Notes MCP integration securely to your AI terminal.
- Configure your endpoint URL (Official Cloud or Self-Hosted) along with your valid JWT Access Token.
- 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.
Built-in capabilities (10)

Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
