About model-context-protocol
A Python MCP server for a persistent AI sticky-notes application. It also serves as a reference for developers learning to build MCP tools, resources, and prompts.
Key features
- 01Add notes to persistent storage
- 02Retrieve all stored notes
- 03Access the latest note as a resource
- 04Generate a note-summary prompt
Use cases
- 01Store and retrieve notes through an MCP client
- 02Fetch the most recent note
- 03Generate a summary prompt from saved notes
MCP support
Exposes note management tools, a latest-note resource, and a summary prompt to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEmodel-context-protocol
A custom server project built using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Python. This repository implements a simple AI Sticky Notes application that demonstrates the core functionality of MCP.
What We've Built
This project implements a simple but functional MCP server that acts as an AI Sticky Notes application with the following features:
- Adding Notes: Users can add new notes to a persistent storage file
- Reading Notes: Users can retrieve all stored notes
- Accessing Latest Note: A resource endpoint to get only the most recent note
- Note Summarization: A prompt generator that asks an AI to summarize all current notes
Core Components
- FastMCP Server: The main server implementation using the MCP framework
- Tools: Function endpoints that perform specific actions
add_note: Adds a new note to storageread_notes: Retrieves all stored notes
- Resources: Data endpoints that provide specific information
notes://latest: Provides the most recently added note
- Prompts: Template generators for AI interactions
note_summary_prompt: Creates a prompt asking an AI to summarize all notes
What You Can Do With This Server
For Developers
- Extend Functionality: Add new tools, resources, or prompts to enhance the application
- Integrate with AI Models: Connect this server to LLMs to create an intelligent note-taking application
- Use as a Reference: Learn how to structure MCP applications for your own projects
- Build a UI: Create a frontend that interacts with these endpoints
For Users
- Manage Notes: Add and retrieve notes through the API
- Get AI Summaries: Use the prompt endpoint to generate summaries of your notes
- Access Latest Information: Quickly retrieve the most recent note
Getting Started
To run the server:
python main.py
The server will start and expose endpoints for adding notes, reading notes, accessing the latest note, and generating summary prompts.
Future Enhancements
Potential improvements for this project:
- Add note deletion and editing capabilities
- Implement note categorization and tagging
- Create a web interface for easier interaction
- Add authentication for multi-user support
- Integrate with external AI services for automatic note analysis
Comments
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.
