Standard Notes

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_notes or retrieve specific detailed payloads using the get_item_details routine.
  • Automated Drafting — Command the agent to generate new structural content and save it securely via create_note, or surgically update existing drafts through update_note.
  • Vault Maintenance — Maintain a clean workspace by permanently removing deprecated assets via delete_item, and keep local context synchronized with the official server using sync_items.
  • Taxonomy & Organization — Streamline categorization by generating new organizational folders with create_tag, retrieving current structures with list_tags, and associating tags to specific items utilizing tag_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.

Built-in capabilities (10)

create_note

This action is irreversible. Permanently deletes an item (note, tag, or extension) by UUID

get_auth_parameters

Retrieves authentication parameters for an account email

get_item_details

Retrieves a specific item (note, tag, or extension) by UUID

list_notes

Note content remains encrypted until decrypted with user keys. Lists all encrypted notes

list_tags

Lists all tags defined in the account

sync_items

Use the sync_token from the previous response. Performs a Standard Notes sync operation

tag_note

Requires both the tag UUID and the note UUID. Associates a tag with a note

update_note

Updates an existing note by UUID

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Standard Notes into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Standard Notes and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

  • Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

  • Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

  • MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

  • VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

05

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

06

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

07

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
