This MCP server allows you to write notes directly to Flomo from Claude. With a simple configuration, you can send content from your conversations straight to your Flomo account, streamlining your note-taking workflow.

Installation

To use the Flomo MCP server with Claude Desktop, you'll need to add server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file.

First, locate your configuration file:

  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Then, add the following configuration to the file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-flomo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chatmcp/mcp-server-flomo"],
      "env": {
        "FLOMO_API_URL": "https://flomoapp.com/iwh/xxx/xxx/"
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting Your Flomo API URL

You'll need to replace the placeholder URL with your actual Flomo API URL. You can find this URL by:

  1. Going to https://v.flomoapp.com/mine?source=incoming_webhook
  2. Copying your personal webhook URL
  3. Replacing the placeholder in your configuration file with this URL

Usage

Writing Notes to Flomo

When chatting with Claude, you can use the write_note tool to send text content directly to your Flomo account.

This tool requires one parameter:

  • content: The text you want to save to Flomo

When you want Claude to save information to Flomo, simply ask it to use the write_note tool with the content you wish to save.

Example Prompts

Here are some example prompts you can use:

  • "Save this summary to my Flomo account"
  • "Use the write_note tool to save these key points to Flomo"
  • "Send this information to Flomo for me to reference later"

Claude will use the MCP server to send your content directly to your Flomo account.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the server:

  • Make sure your Flomo API URL is correct
  • Check that Claude Desktop is properly configured
  • Restart Claude Desktop after making configuration changes

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "mcp-server-flomo" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@chatmcp/mcp-server-flomo"],"env":{"FLOMO_API_URL":"https://flomoapp.com/iwh/xxx/xxx/"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For 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 > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

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

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-flomo": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@chatmcp/mcp-server-flomo"
            ],
            "env": {
                "FLOMO_API_URL": "https://flomoapp.com/iwh/xxx/xxx/"
            }
        }
    }
}

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 explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-flomo": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@chatmcp/mcp-server-flomo"
            ],
            "env": {
                "FLOMO_API_URL": "https://flomoapp.com/iwh/xxx/xxx/"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
