Sticky Notes MCP server

MCP-Notes-Making is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation designed to help in creating and managing notes. This server allows users to maintain a knowledge base in memory and retrieve information through natural language queries, making it easier to organize and access your notes efficiently.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• npm (v9 or higher)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/MCP-Notes-Making.git
cd MCP-Notes-Making

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a configuration file:

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

PORT=3000

You can customize the port number as needed.

Usage

Starting the Server

To start the MCP server, run:

npm start

This will launch the server on the port specified in your .env file (default: 3000).

API Endpoints

The server supports the following MCP-compliant endpoints:

Messages Endpoint

• URL: /v1/messages
• Method: POST
• Description: Send messages to the server for processing

Example request:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Create a note about climate change"
    }
  ]
}

Note Management Commands

The server recognizes several commands for managing notes:

Creating Notes

To create a new note, send a message with the following format:

Create a note about [topic]

Example:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Create a note about artificial intelligence"
    }
  ]
}

Retrieving Notes

To retrieve information from your notes:

What do my notes say about [topic]?

Example:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "What do my notes say about renewable energy?"
    }
  ]
}

Listing All Notes

To see all stored notes:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "List all my notes"
    }
  ]
}

Advanced Configuration

Memory Management

The server keeps notes in memory during runtime. For persistent storage, you'll need to implement a database connection or file-based storage solution.

Custom Commands

You can extend the server's functionality by modifying the message handling logic to recognize additional commands for your specific use case.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
