Overview
my-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 my-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 notes via
note://URIs, with each note containing a title, content, and metadata. - Tools: Create new text notes using thecreate_notetool, which requires a title and content. - Prompts: Generate summaries of all stored notes using thesummarize_notesprompt, which returns structured prompts for LLM summarization.
- Managing and organizing text notes for easy access and retrieval.
- Creating new notes programmatically through the server's API.
- Summarizing large sets of notes for quick reference.

}FAQ
Can I use my-server MCP Server for collaborative note-taking?
The current implementation is designed for individual use, but it can be extended for collaborative features.
Is there a graphical interface for managing notes?
No, the current version is command-line based, but a GUI could be developed in the future.
How do I debug the server?
Use the MCP Inspector for debugging, which provides a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":1569,"uuid":"29abf8e6-d212-457b-a598-c850424b9d31","name":"mcp_practice","title":"my-server MCP Server","description":"a mcp server","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4427760?v=4","created_at":"2025-02-22T05:09:31.192Z","updated_at":"2025-02-23T07:21:17.994Z","status":"created","author_name":"vivalalova","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4427760?v=4","tags":"[]","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/vivalalova/mcp_practice","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":null,"type":null,"metadata":"{\"star\":\"0\",\"license\":\"\",\"language\":\"JavaScript\",\"is_official\":false,\"latest_commit_time\":\"2025-02-21 10:32:46\"}","user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]
