SimpleNote MCP Server
I’ve been an avid SimpleNote user, long before I started working at Automattic.
I love how easy it is to just fire up a note and start typing. I can tag, type text, use markdown formatting, and link to other notes. And that’s basically it! I’ve tried things like Obsidian and Notion but they just had too much overhead and I never used them for long.
I’m also a big Claude and Claude Code and I thought it would be fun to write a simple MCP server so I can use Claude to query my SimpleNote notes.
Here it is for your enjoyment. Open source, should work with any AI tool that supports MCP. The limitations are that it’s currently macOS only (because it reads the raw XML data from SimpleNote) and you have to manually add it to your settings file for Claude and Claude Code. The README has detailed instructions.

Here’s a little example of it in action.
I’d love to hear any impressions, bugs, suggestions, or whatever. It’s my first MCP server so I’m sure there’s plenty of room for improvement.
