MCP Server for AI Agents

20 tools. 6 prompt templates. One-line setup. Let Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, JetBrains, and Zed control your notes.

Setup

Pick your client. One config — and your AI agent can read, create, and organize your notes.

Run the auto-install command below (recommended)
Restart Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

curl -fsSL https://slashnote.app/install-mcp.sh | sh

Manual setup

Download the binary and place it at ~/.slashnote/bin/slashnote-mcp
Add the config below to claude_desktop_config.json
Restart Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slashnote": {
      "command": "~/.slashnote/bin/slashnote-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Run the command below in your terminal — it installs the plugin with MCP server and slash commands
Restart Claude Code for the plugin to take effect

Terminal

claude plugin marketplace add slashnote-app/claude-code-plugin && claude plugin install slashnote@slashnote-app-claude-code-plugin

The plugin includes the MCP server, 11 slash commands (/note, /note-todo, /note-loop, etc.), and 4 smart hooks.

Add the config below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Restart Cursor — check Settings → Tools & MCP for a green dot

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slashnote": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:51423/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open Command Palette (⌘⇧P) → "Open User Settings (JSON)"
Add the config below to your User Settings

User Settings JSON

"mcp": {
  "servers": {
    "slashnote": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:51423/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Use "servers" (not "mcpServers") and add to User Settings (not .vscode/mcp.json).

Open Windsurf Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers → View raw config
Add the config below
Restart Windsurf to connect

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slashnote": {
      "serverUrl": "http://localhost:51423/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Use "serverUrl" (not "url") — Windsurf uses a different key name.

Open Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Click "+" button
Enter the URL below

Settings UI

http://localhost:51423/mcp

Add the config below to your Zed settings.json
Requires npx (Node.js) for the mcp-remote bridge

settings.json

"context_servers": {
  "slashnote": {
    "command": {
      "path": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:51423/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
