neemee-mcp

Neemee MCP Client Library

A TypeScript client library for connecting to Neemee MCP servers using the official Model Context Protocol SDK.

Overview

This library provides a convenient interface for interacting with Neemee personal knowledge management systems through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It supports both HTTP and STDIO transport modes and includes full TypeScript support.

Installation

npm install neemee-mcp

Quick Start

HTTP Mode (Web Applications)

import { NeemeeClient } from 'neemee-mcp';

const client = new NeemeeClient({
  transport: 'http',
  baseUrl: 'https://neemee.app/mcp',
  apiKey: 'your-api-key'
});

await client.connect();

// Create a note
const result = await client.tools.createNote({
  content: 'My note content',
  title: 'My Note'
});

console.log(result);

await client.disconnect();

STDIO Mode (Direct Process Communication)

import { NeemeeClient } from 'neemee-mcp';

const client = new NeemeeClient({
  transport: 'stdio'
});

await client.connect();

// Use same API as HTTP mode
const notes = await client.resources.listNotes();
console.log(notes);

await client.disconnect();

API Reference

NeemeeClient

Main client class that provides access to tools and resources.

Constructor Options

interface NeemeeClientOptions {
  transport: 'http' | 'stdio';
  baseUrl?: string;        // For HTTP mode
  apiKey?: string;         // For authentication
  timeout?: number;        // Request timeout in milliseconds
}

Methods

• connect(): Promise<void> - Connect to the server
• disconnect(): Promise<void> - Disconnect from the server
• listAvailableTools(): Promise<any> - List available MCP tools
• listAvailableResources(): Promise<any> - List available MCP resources

Tools API

Access via client.tools:

Notes

// Create a note
await client.tools.createNote({
  content: 'Note content',
  title: 'Optional title',
  url: 'Optional source URL',
  notebook: 'Optional notebook name',
  frontmatter: { /* Optional metadata */ }
});

// Update a note
await client.tools.updateNote({
  id: 'note-id',
  content: 'Updated content',
  title: 'Updated title'
});

// Delete a note
await client.tools.deleteNote('note-id', true);

// Search notes
await client.tools.searchNotes({
  query: 'search terms',
  notebook: 'notebook-name',
  domain: 'example.com',
  tags: 'tag1,tag2',
  startDate: '2024-01-01',
  endDate: '2024-12-31',
  limit: 50
});

Notebooks

// Create a notebook
await client.tools.createNotebook('Notebook Name', 'Optional description');

// Update a notebook
await client.tools.updateNotebook('notebook-id', 'New Name', 'New description');

// Delete a notebook
await client.tools.deleteNotebook('notebook-id', true);

// Search notebooks
await client.tools.searchNotebooks('search query', 20);

Resources API

Access via client.resources:

Notes

// List notes with filtering
await client.resources.listNotes({
  page: 1,
  limit: 20,
  search: 'search terms',
  domain: 'example.com',
  notebook: 'notebook-name',
  tags: 'tag1,tag2',
  startDate: '2024-01-01',
  endDate: '2024-12-31'
});

// Get a specific note
await client.resources.getNote('note-id');

Notebooks

// List notebooks
await client.resources.listNotebooks({
  page: 1,
  limit: 20,
  search: 'search terms'
});

// Get a specific notebook
await client.resources.getNotebook('notebook-id');

System Information

// Get usage statistics
await client.resources.getStats();

// Check system health
await client.resources.getHealth();

// Get recent activity
await client.resources.getRecentActivity();

Error Handling

The library provides specific error types for different failure scenarios:

import { 
  NeemeeClientError,
  AuthenticationError,
  ConnectionError,
  NotFoundError,
  ValidationError,
  ServerError
} from 'neemee-mcp';

try {
  await client.connect();
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
    console.error('Invalid API key');
  } else if (error instanceof ConnectionError) {
    console.error('Failed to connect to server');
  } else if (error instanceof NeemeeClientError) {
    console.error('Client error:', error.message);
  }
}

Migration from v1.x

Breaking Changes

• Minimum Node.js version: Now requires Node.js 18.0.0+
• Constructor options: Format has changed (see Quick Start examples)
• Error types: Updated error hierarchy
• Method signatures: Some parameters refined for better type safety

Migration Guide

Old v1.x Usage

// v1.x (deprecated)
const client = new LegacyNeemeeClient({
  useStdio: false,
  serverUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  apiKey: 'key'
});

New v2.x Usage

// v2.x (recommended)
const client = new NeemeeClient({
  transport: 'http',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  apiKey: 'key'
});

Legacy Compatibility

For temporary compatibility, use the LegacyNeemeeClient:

import { LegacyNeemeeClient } from 'neemee-mcp';

// This provides the old API while you migrate
const client = new LegacyNeemeeClient({
  useStdio: false,
  serverUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  apiKey: 'key'
});

Examples

Complete Example with Error Handling

import { NeemeeClient, AuthenticationError, ConnectionError } from 'neemee-mcp';

async function example() {
  const client = new NeemeeClient({
    transport: 'http',
    baseUrl: 'https://neemee.app/mcp',
    apiKey: process.env.NEEMEE_API_KEY
  });

  try {
    await client.connect();
    
    // Create a note
    const createResult = await client.tools.createNote({
      content: '# My First Note\n\nThis is some content.',
      title: 'First Note',
      frontmatter: {
        tags: ['example', 'test'],
        priority: 'high'
      }
    });
    
    console.log('Created note:', createResult);
    
    // Search for notes
    const searchResult = await client.tools.searchNotes({
      query: 'first',
      tags: 'example',
      limit: 10
    });
    
    console.log('Found notes:', searchResult);
    
    // List available resources
    const resources = await client.listAvailableResources();
    console.log('Available resources:', resources);
    
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
      console.error('Authentication failed - check your API key');
    } else if (error instanceof ConnectionError) {
      console.error('Connection failed - check server URL and network');
    } else {
      console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
    }
  } finally {
    await client.disconnect();
  }
}

example().catch(console.error);

Tag-Based Search

// Search notes with multiple tags
const taggedNotes = await client.tools.searchNotes({
  tags: 'work,important,urgent',
  notebook: 'Projects',
  limit: 25
});

// List notes with specific tags via resources
const resourceNotes = await client.resources.listNotes({
  tags: 'research,ai',
  domain: 'arxiv.org',
  limit: 50
});

Configuration

Claude Desktop Configuration

Use this package as a local bridge for STDIO transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neemee-local": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "neemee-mcp", "--api-key=your-api-key-here"],
      "env": {
        "NEEMEE_API_BASE_URL": "https://neemee.app/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication: Uses API key authentication. Get your API key from Neemee settings. The API key can be provided via the --api-key flag in the args or as a NEEMEE_API_KEY environment variable.

Environment Variables

• NEEMEE_API_KEY - Your Neemee API key (required for STDIO mode)
• NEEMEE_API_BASE_URL - Base URL for Neemee API (defaults to https://neemee.app/mcp)

Authentication Scopes

The client supports different permission levels based on your API key:

• read: Access to resources and search operations
• write: Create and update operations (includes read)
• admin: Delete operations (includes write and read)

TypeScript Support

This library is written in TypeScript and provides full type definitions:

import type { 
  NeemeeClientOptions,
  CreateNoteParams,
  UpdateNoteParams,
  SearchNotesParams 
} from 'neemee-mcp';

const options: NeemeeClientOptions = {
  transport: 'http',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  apiKey: 'your-key'
};

const noteParams: CreateNoteParams = {
  content: 'Note content',
  title: 'Note title',
  frontmatter: {
    tags: ['typescript', 'example'],
    date: new Date().toISOString()
  }
};
