About ThinkSpace
ThinkSpace is an MCP server that sends notes from AI conversations to a ThinkSpace inbox, where users arrange them into cards themselves. It supports remote connections from MCP clients and a legacy local bridge for Claude Code on macOS.
Key features
- 01Send chat text to the inbox
- 02Add an optional title and source
- 03Keep card creation under user control
- 04Remote OAuth connections
- 05Legacy local macOS bridge
Use cases
- 01Save a useful AI response for later
- 02Collect notes from Claude Code
- 03Move conversation notes into ThinkSpace across devices
MCP support
The server exposes the `send_to_inbox` tool and writes notes to the ThinkSpace inbox; it cannot read the inbox or canvases. A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint supports OAuth, with a legacy stdio bridge for Claude Code on the same Mac.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.
https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http com-thinkspace-app-thinkspace https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp{"mcpServers":{"com-thinkspace-app-thinkspace":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp"}}}Open in Cursor{"servers":{"com-thinkspace-app-thinkspace":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp"}}}Open in VS Code{"mcpServers":{"com-thinkspace-app-thinkspace":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp"}}}{"mcpServers":{"com-thinkspace-app-thinkspace":{"serverUrl":"https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp"}}}Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.
Tools
Details
From the project READMEthinkspace-mcp
An MCP server that sends notes from your AI conversations to the ThinkSpace inbox — so what you reach with AI doesn't scroll away in a chat log, and ends up as cards you arrange with your own hands.
ThinkSpace's philosophy: AI helps gather and diverge; you build the map, because only what you build yourself stays in your head. Accordingly, this server never creates cards directly — it only delivers material to the inbox. Turning material into cards is yours.
- Remote server (recommended):
https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp— works from claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Code, and any MCP client that supports OAuth. Notes arrive on every device where you're signed in to ThinkSpace. - Local server (legacy): a stdio bridge for Claude Code on the same Mac as the app.
Remote server
Connect
| Client | How |
|---|---|
| claude.ai (web / desktop / mobile) | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp |
| ChatGPT | Settings → Connectors (developer mode) → Create → MCP server URL https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp, auth OAuth |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http thinkspace https://mcp.thinkspace-app.com/mcp then /mcp to sign in |
The client opens ThinkSpace's connection page. Sign in with your ThinkSpace email and password, or — if you use Sign in with Apple — with a 6-digit code from the app: Inbox → link icon (top right) → “Get a connection code” (valid for 10 minutes).
You can see and revoke connections in the same screen in the app. A revoked connection gets a 401 on its next call and the client asks you to connect again.
Use
「いまの結論、受信箱に送って」 "Send this to my ThinkSpace inbox."
The client calls send_to_inbox with the full text of the message and a rough label.
Open the inbox in ThinkSpace (iPhone / iPad / Mac) and decide what becomes a card.
Tool
send_to_inbox
| input | description |
|---|---|
text (required) | Note body — the verbatim full text of one chat message |
title (optional) | Label draft, ideally ≤20 characters (you'll rewrite it by hand) |
source (optional) | Origin identifier, defaults to mcp |
Annotations: readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: false.
The server only writes to the inbox; it cannot read your inbox or canvases.
Limits: 60 notes per minute per user; bodies over 30,000 characters are cut at that point and flagged as truncated.
How it works
- One Cloudflare Worker serves both the OAuth 2.1 authorization server and the MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, stateless). Discovery via RFC 9728 / RFC 8414, dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) and client ID metadata documents, PKCE S256, refresh-token rotation.
- The authorization page is ThinkSpace's own. Passwords are verified against ThinkSpace's auth service and never stored or logged. App codes are one-time and expire in 10 minutes.
- Each connection is recorded and can be revoked from the app. Tokens carry only the user id and connection id.
- Notes are written to the ThinkSpace backend (Supabase) as inbox items and delivered to the app by its normal sync.

Develop
cd remote
npm install
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars # SUPABASE_URL / SUPABASE_ANON_KEY / SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY
npx wrangler dev # http://localhost:8787/mcp
./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit
npx wrangler deploy
Secrets in production are set with wrangler secret put (see remote/wrangler.jsonc).
The service role key lives only in Worker secrets and .dev.vars (gitignored).
Local server (legacy, macOS only)
A stdio server that hands notes to the ThinkSpace app on the same Mac via the
thinkspace:// URL scheme; the app's own sync then delivers them to your iPad / iPhone.
No account or token is needed, but it only works with Claude Code on that Mac.
claude mcp add thinkspace -- npx -y thinkspace-mcp
# or from a local checkout
git clone https://github.com/naoyax628X/thinkspace-mcp.git
cd thinkspace-mcp && npm install
claude mcp add thinkspace -- node /path/to/thinkspace-mcp/index.js
The npm package is thinkspace-mcp, published
by the same author as this repository; it contains only index.js (the local bridge).
Requires Node.js 18+ and the ThinkSpace Mac app. The tool is the same send_to_inbox;
source defaults to claude-code, and bodies beyond URL-scheme limits are delivered via
the clipboard channel (source becomes clipboard). Note that the clipboard channel
overwrites whatever is on your clipboard at that moment.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
