Noteriv is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server tool, developed by Thejacedev, designed to connect AI assistants with Noteriv markdown vaults. Distributed as an npm package named noteriv-mcp, it operates on the mcp platform. This free tool is part of the broader Noteriv ecosystem, which includes a fast, open-source markdown editor built with Rust and Tauri 2. Noteriv-mcp enables AI assistants to interact programmatically with user notes and folders, enhancing AI capabilities for content management and creation within a personal knowledge base.

What does Noteriv connect to?

The Noteriv MCP server tool establishes connections to a Noteriv vault, which serves as a repository for plain markdown files stored directly on the user's filesystem. Categorized as an MCP server, its primary function is to integrate with AI assistants. This setup allows AI to access and manipulate the user's notes and organizational structures. The tool automatically discovers the active Noteriv vault by reading the same configuration file used by the desktop application, removing the need for manual path configuration.

Core features and tools

The Noteriv MCP server exposes 22 distinct tools for AI interaction. These tools cover a variety of operations, including reading, writing, appending, deleting, and renaming notes. They also support listing, creating, and deleting folders. Users can perform full-text searches across their vault content. Furthermore, the server manages tags, backlinks, and outgoing links. It can retrieve vault statistics and create daily notes, providing a broad set of capabilities for AI assistants.

Who is it for?

The Noteriv MCP server tool is intended for users of MCP-compatible AI assistants, specifically mentioning Claude Code and Cursor. It targets individuals who wish to empower their AI with direct programmatic access to their markdown notes and vault organization. This allows AI to automate tasks such as note creation, content searching, and link management. Skip this if you do not use an MCP-compatible AI assistant for note management.

How to get started

No credentials are required. The server automatically discovers the active Noteriv vault, but users can specify a vault path directly as a command-line argument for multi-vault usage.

Use cases

• Enabling AI assistants to programmatically read, search, create, and modify notes and their content within a Noteriv vault.
• Allowing AI to search notes by content, specific tags, or frontmatter fields for efficient information retrieval.
• Facilitating AI-driven creation of daily notes, thorough folder management, and querying of backlinks and outgoing links.

Noteriv provides a strong bridge for AI assistants to interact with markdown notes stored in a Noteriv vault. It offers 22 tools for managing content, folders, and links, supporting AI-driven workflows for organization and creation. The server simplifies setup by automatically discovering vaults and supports multi-vault environments. Try enabling an AI assistant to create a daily note within your Noteriv vault.
