AI Sticky Notes MCP Server

An AI-powered Sticky Notes application built using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and FastMCP. This project allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop to interact with a local note-taking system through MCP tools, resources, and prompts.

The server enables users to create, retrieve, summarize, and organize notes directly through natural language conversations with Claude.

MCP Components

Tools

1. add_notes(message)

Adds a new note to the local notes file.

Example:

Add a note saying:
Finish the AI assignment tonight.

---

2. read_notes()

Returns all stored notes.

Example:

Show me all my notes.

---

3. show_latest_note_view()

Displays the latest note in a structured format.

Example:

Show my latest note.

---

Resources

notes://latest

Returns the most recently saved note.

Example:

Read the latest sticky note.

---

Prompts

note_summary_prompt()

Automatically creates a prompt that asks Claude to summarize all stored notes.

Example:

Summarize my notes.

Claude receives a prompt containing every saved note and generates an intelligent summary.

Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ai-sticky-notes-mcp.git

cd ai-sticky-notes-mcp

Install dependencies

uv sync

or

pip install "mcp[cli]"

---

Running the MCP Server

python main.py

or

mcp dev main.py

---

Connecting to Claude Desktop

Add the server configuration to Claude Desktop.

Example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sticky-notes": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the configuration.

Example Usage

Add a Note

Remember to submit my internship assignment tomorrow.

---

Read Notes

Show all my notes.

---

Latest Note

What was my latest note?

---

AI Summary

Summarize all my notes.

---

How It Works

1. Claude sends a request through the MCP protocol.
2. The MCP server receives the request.
3. FastMCP routes the request to the appropriate Tool, Resource, or Prompt.
4. Notes are stored or retrieved from notes.txt.
5. Claude receives the response and presents it naturally to the user.

• Note categories and tags
• Note editing and deletion
• AI-generated quizzes from notes
• Note importance ranking
• PDF note import
• Voice note support
• Multi-user authentication
• Cloud synchronization
