9Ninety/MCPNotes

## ✨ Overview
MCP Notes Server is a simple note-taking application built on top of the MCP protocol. Its purpose is to enable users to record and view complex notes and tasks while utilizing AI models, such as recording personal thoughts, notes, inspirations, and insights. It does not rely on creating project files, allowing users to record any content without making it public within the project.
This project includes two servers: a Node.js server using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI-driven note management and a web server providing a user-friendly interface for manual interaction with your notes.
Note: This project requires DynamoDB for note storage. You'll need an AWS account to use it. AWS offers a generous free tier for DynamoDB, making it suitable for frequent personal use at no cost.
## 🎯 Core Features
🖥️ Dual Server Architecture: MCP server for AI-driven note management and Web server for the user interface
🤖 AI-Powered Note Taking: Record thoughts, insights, and tasks through AI interactions
🗂️ Comprehensive Note Management: Create, list, retrieve, update, and delete notes via AI or web interface
📋 Reliable Storage: Secure and efficient note storage with AWS DynamoDB
🔐 Flexible Authentication: Support for AWS credentials via connection strings or environment variables
📝 Project-Independent: Store personal notes without affecting project files or structure
## 🤖 Model Support
You can use any model that supports function calls as long as your client supports MCP. The following models have been tested and confirmed to work:
Claude 3.5 Series
Gemini 1.5 and 2.0 Series
GPT-4 Series
Mistral Large
Grok-2
DeepSeek Chat

### Cody
> Note: Currently, Cody has limited MCP server support.
> It only allows one server connection and cannot make tool calls. You'll need to use the web interface to create and manage notes and then reference them in AI chat conversations.
