Overview
convex-mcp-server is a TypeScript-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that implements a simple notes system, demonstrating core MCP concepts through resources and tools for managing text notes.
To use the convex-mcp-server, install the necessary 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 representing text notes with URIs and metadata. - Tools for creating new notes with required parameters (title and content). - Each note can be accessed via
note://URIs, with plain text mime type for simple content access.
- Creating and managing text notes in a structured format.
- Integrating with applications that support MCP for enhanced note-taking capabilities.
- Debugging and inspecting MCP server communications using the MCP Inspector tool.
