github-server MCP Server
Overview
The github-server MCP Server is a TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that implements a simple notes system, demonstrating core MCP concepts through resources, tools, and prompts for note management.
To use the github-server MCP Server, install the dependencies, build the server, and configure it with Claude Desktop by adding the server configuration to the appropriate JSON file based on your operating system.
- Resources: Access and manage notes via
note://URIs, each with a title, content, and metadata. - Tools: Create new text notes using thecreate_notetool, which requires a title and content. - Prompts: Generate summaries of stored notes with thesummarize_notesprompt, returning structured summaries for LLM processing.
- Managing personal notes with easy access and organization.
- Summarizing large sets of notes for quick reference.
- Integrating with other applications that support MCP for enhanced note-taking capabilities.
