What is the Notesnook (Private Note Taking & E2EE) MCP Server?
Connect your Notesnook account to any AI agent and take full control of your privacy-first knowledge base, zero-knowledge note taking, and secure vault synchronization through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Encrypted Orchestration — List all secure notes and retrieve detailed encrypted payloads including raw text and binary history directly from your agent
- Vault Synchronization — Trigger a full sync with the Notesnook server to resolve encrypted state changes and ensure your local representation is up-to-date
- Secure Note Injection — Instantly create and attach brand new encrypted notes to your vault, securely pushing plaintext into persistent encrypted envelopes natively
- Notebook Navigation — Explore hierarchical notebook groupings to understand your knowledge organization and categorize secure notes across project boundaries
- Metadata & Tag Audit — Enumerate cross-cutting categorical tags and classification indices to identify related information through metadata parameters securely
- Attachment Visibility — List encapsulated binary attachments mapping images, PDFs, and embedded blobs stored persistently inside your encrypted notes
- Lifecycle Management — Update partial strings within existing notes or irreversibly delete specific entries to maintain a clean and relevant secure workspace
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Notesnook Sync URL and Auth Token
- Start managing your private vault from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Privacy-Conscious Users — organize sensitive thoughts and research through natural conversation without exposing data to third-party providers
- Knowledge Workers — manage technical documentation and project snippets directly from your IDE while maintaining full zero-knowledge security
- Researchers — retrieve rapid summaries of favorited notes and audit large collections of encrypted information efficiently

Frequently asked questions
How does Notesnook ensure my notes remain private through the agent?
Notesnook uses end-to-end encryption (E2EE). When your agent uses the create_note or get_note tools, it handles encrypted envelopes. This ensures that only authorized clients with your keys can decrypt the actual text body, maintaining zero-knowledge security natively.
Can I see all my notebooks and tags using my agent?
Yes. Use the list_notebooks and list_tags tools to retrieve the organizational hierarchy of your vault. Your agent will report the names and IDs, helping you understand how your encrypted information is classified across your account.
How do I trigger a synchronization between my vault and the server?
The sync_items tool allows your agent to initiate a full or incremental state resolution. By providing a Unix timestamp, your agent can fetch only the most recent encrypted binary objects, ensuring your local environment matches the server's state.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
