Overview

MCP Notes is a simple note-taking application built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows users to record and manage notes using AI models. It is designed for personal use, enabling users to capture thoughts, insights, and tasks without the need for project files.

To use MCP Notes, you can run the server using Node.js and interact with it through a web interface or via AI models that support function calls. You will need to set up AWS DynamoDB for note storage.

Dual server architecture for AI-driven note management and user interface. - AI-powered note taking for recording thoughts and tasks. - Comprehensive note management capabilities (create, list, retrieve, update, delete). - Secure storage using AWS DynamoDB. - Flexible authentication options.

Recording personal thoughts and inspirations.
Managing tasks and notes for projects without affecting project files.
Utilizing AI to enhance note-taking and retrieval processes.
