Including it into Gemini CLI or other tools is as easy as adding one line to the prompt:

Search my Joplin Notes for Birthday presents. Use the command line tool "joplin-cli" to access my Joplin Notes.

joplin-cli 0.3.0 is out!

It’s a lightweight „no MCP server needed“ way to give AI agents access to you Joplin Notes (or just to access them from the CLI yourself)

Latest release primarily focuses on README, and release packaging. So it’s easy to get started as running npm install and setting up your Joplin Token!

I’ve started a #joplin CLI app.

Compared to the Joplin Terminal App (which is a full blown Joplin with a TUI) I’ve created it as a thin wrapper using the Wen Clipper API.

I use it for

- search/get/update all you Notes and Notebooks from your favorite terminal.
- connect to LLMs (as a much leaner alternative to all MCP Servers I’ve found so far)

It’s still rough around the edges but very easy to set up if you want to take a look! 👀

Wie Deutschland auf die Ölkrise 1973 reagierte:

- Tempolimit 100 auf Autobahnen
- Tempo 80 auf Landstraßen
- 4 autofreie Sonntage
- Rationierung von Sprit an Tankstellen

Wie Deutschland auf die Ölkrise 2026 reagiert:

- Verschiebt das Verbrenner-Aus
- Neue Ölheizungen weiter erlaubt
- Würgt Ausbau der Erneuerbaren ab
- Leert seine Ölspeicher

Was ist seitdem nur geschehen?

Someone took “patching a bug” a bit literally 😂

What’s the best way to debug Workflows with Google Gemini?

I spent the afternoon trying to get Gemini to parse a PDF file for me and compare it with a CSV File. It could not even answer simple questions right. It took me hours until I learned it was because it failed to parse the PDF correctly, and only after countless times of “show me your work” prompting…

Is there a better way? #AI #gemini

„3,4 Mrd. Euro Klimageld für Gassubventionen? Nicht mit mir!“

3,4 Mrd. Euro Klimageld für Gassubventionen? Nicht mit uns!

🚨 Fossiles Gas – finanziert aus dem Klimafonds? Stell Dich jetzt dagegen. Noch laufen die Verhandlungen.

Bundeskanzleramt bei Förderung so:
Gas 😍
Wärmepumpe 🙅

1. Es sei schade, dass nicht über die Entlastungen gesprochen werde, die alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger treffen - etwa die Reduktion der Netzentgelte oder für Gaskunden die Gasspeicherumlage.

2. Von der Senkung der Stromsteuer werden […] nur große Unternehmen profitieren.

3. Ein Vorschlag ist, die Förderung von Wärmepumpen zu streichen, um die Senkung der Stromsteuer auch für private Haushalte zu finanzieren.

For all the great things. #Gemini AI can do, I’m surprised how bad Gemini is in Gmail.

For the AI Masterminds in my Network: Is doing these kinds of queries with Mail Context really this hard to do or why does Gemini not manage to do simple things like

- Doing research on a unknown sender
- Show me new deadlines in my unread mails
- Show me which mails are perceived as Urgent

I’m really curious why this integration of AI performs so bad…
