com.anotepad/notes is an MCP server that gives agents tool access to read, search, write, and organize your aNotepad online notes.
About
com.anotepad/notes is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to your aNotepad account so they can treat online notes as a structured knowledge base. Developers who already capture ideas, scope, and runbooks in aNotepad can register the server in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or other MCP clients and delegate note lookup and updates during build and operate work. The catalog description promises read, search, write, and organize flows across 22 tools, which is enough surface area for drafting specs, maintaining launch checklists, and patching support articles without tab-switching. Use it when your agent needs authoritative text that lives outside the repo—customer FAQs, integration credentials reminders (never secrets in plain text), or meeting notes tied to a feature branch. It is weaker as a replacement for git-tracked docs or when you need offline-only or end-to-end encrypted note stores. Pair it with skills that generate plans or reviews so the agent writes conclusions back into the same notebook your team already reads.
- 22 MCP tools for read, search, write, and organize on aNotepad
- Streamable HTTP remote at https://api.anotepad.com/mcp
- Keeps product notes in sync while Claude Code or Cursor edits code
- Search across notebooks so agents pull context instead of pasted walls of text
- Hosted notes with no local markdown repo required

What it does
Let your coding agent read, search, update, and organize aNotepad notes while you ship specs and runbooks without leaving the chat.
Who is it for?
Best when you already use aNotepad for specs and want Claude or Cursor to search and edit those notes during implementation.
Skip if: Skip if you require git-versioned documentation only or refuse cloud note hosting for sensitive material.
What you get
After you register the remote MCP endpoint, your agent can query and maintain aNotepad notes as part of everyday coding and planning sessions.
- Agent-readable and writable aNotepad note content via 22 tools
- Searchable note context injected into coding sessions
- Updated notebooks without manual copy-paste from chat
By the numbers
- 22 MCP tools for note operations
- Remote endpoint: https://api.anotepad.com/mcp

Documentation · anotepad.com · Support
Note: This is the public home for the aNotepad MCP server. aNotepad is a remote, hosted MCP server — there's nothing to install or run. You connect your AI client straight to the hosted endpoint below and sign in with your aNotepad account. The server source lives in the private aNotepad codebase; this repo holds the registry manifest, docs, and branding.
Connection
| Endpoint | https://api.anotepad.com/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Auth | OAuth 2.1 (PKCE) + Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) — no API key setup |
| Required plan | aNotepad Pro or Max |
Quick start
- Make sure your aNotepad account is on the Pro or Max plan.
- In your AI client's settings, add an MCP server with URL
https://api.anotepad.com/mcp. - The client opens a browser window to sign in to aNotepad and approve access.
- Ask things like "summarize my recipe collection" or "find the note where I saved that GitHub link."
Client setup
Claude Desktop
- Settings → Connectors (or Settings → Developer → Edit Config on older versions).
- Add custom connector, paste
https://api.anotepad.com/mcp. - Sign in to aNotepad in the browser window and approve.
- The aNotepad tools appear under the connectors list.
ChatGPT (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise)
- Your name (bottom left) → Settings → Connectors → Connect more.
- Add custom connector, paste
https://api.anotepad.com/mcp. - Approve the OAuth flow.
Cursor
- Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server.
- Transport HTTP / SSE, URL
https://api.anotepad.com/mcp. - Save, then sign in and approve in the browser window.

What's not exposed
Some operations stay on the web app, by design:
- Setting note passwords — removing a password is fine; setting a new value via AI is blocked (it would land in chat transcripts).
- File uploads — AI can list, download, and delete attachments, but new uploads go through the web app.
- Account / billing changes — plan changes, payment methods, etc. are web-app only.
- Creator wallet setup — switching a note to
Paidis supported, but the one-time wallet/email verification must be done in the web app first.
Privacy & security
- The AI sees only your own notes and their comments — never other users' notes or your account/billing data.
- Comments on public notes are wrapped in
<untrusted-comment>markers in tool responses, signaling to the AI that the text is data, not instructions — a defense against prompt injection. - Destructive tools (delete, change access, send email) are marked destructive, so most clients require an extra approval prompt.
- Note content and passwords are never written to server logs.
Rate limits
| Plan | Tool calls / min | New notes / day | Emails / hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | 60 | 1,000 | 10 |
| Max | 300 | 5,000 | 10 |
Limits are per user, shared across all connected clients.
