**Important:** This server is archived and no longer maintained. As of Memos v0.27.0, the note-taking app includes a native MCP server implementation, so you should use that instead. This standalone version provided create_memo and attach_file tools to programmatically add markdown notes and file attachments to your Memos instance via its API. It required a Memos server endpoint and API token for authentication. If you're running an older Memos version, this worked, but upgrading to v0.27.0+ and using the built-in MCP server is the recommended path forward.
[!NOTE] This repository is archived. As of v0.27.0, Memos now includes a native MCP server implementation, making this standalone server unnecessary.
An MCP server for interacting with Memos.
This MCP server provides the following tools:
create_memoCreate a memo and return the name of the memo.
