# Joplin MCP Server
A **FastMCP-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** for [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org/) note-taking application via its Python API [joppy](https://github.com/marph91/joppy), enabling AI assistants to interact with your Joplin notes, notebooks, and tags through a standardized interface.

## What You Can Do
This MCP server provides **21 optimized tools** for comprehensive Joplin integration:
### **Note Management**
- **Find & Search**: `find_notes`, `find_notes_with_tag`, `find_notes_in_notebook`, `get_all_notes`
- **CRUD Operations**: `get_note`, `get_links`, `create_note`, `update_note`, `delete_note`
### **Notebook Management**
- **Organize**: `list_notebooks`, `create_notebook`, `update_notebook`, `delete_notebook`
### **Tag Management**
- **Categorize**: `list_tags`, `create_tag`, `update_tag`, `delete_tag`, `get_tags_by_note`
- **Link**: `tag_note`, `untag_note`
### **System**
- **Health**: `ping_joplin`
## Quick Start
### 1. Configure Joplin
1. Open **Joplin Desktop** → **Tools** → **Options** → **Web Clipper**
2. **Enable** the Web Clipper service
3. **Copy** the Authorization token
### 2. Choose Your AI Client
#### Option A: Claude Desktop (Automated Setup)
Run the automated installer:
```bash
# Install and configure everything automatically
uvx joplin-mcp-install
```
This script will:
- Configure your Joplin API token
- Set tool permissions (Create/Update/Delete)
- Set up Claude Desktop automatically
- Test the connection
After setup, restart Claude Desktop and you're ready to go!
```
"List my notebooks" or "Create a note about today's meeting"
```
#### Option B: Jan AI
**B1: Manual Setup (Recommended - Simplest)**
1. **Install Jan AI** from [https://jan.ai](https://jan.ai)
2. **Add MCP Server** in Jan's interface:
- Open Jan AI
- Go to **Settings** → **Extensions** → **Model Context Protocol**
- Click **Add MCP Server**
- Configure:
- **Name**: `joplin`
- **Command**: `uvx joplin-mcp`
- **Environment Variables**:
- `JOPLIN_TOKEN`: `your_joplin_api_token_here`
- Enable the server
3. **Start chatting** with access to your Joplin notes!
**B2: Automated Setup (Alternative)**
```bash
# Install and configure Jan AI automatically (if Jan is already installed)
uvx joplin-mcp-install
```
This will detect and configure Jan AI automatically, just like Claude Desktop.
```
"Show me my recent notes" or "Create a project planning note"
```
#### Option C: OllMCP (Local AI Models)
For local Ollama models:
**Option C1: Auto-discovery (if you set up Claude Desktop first)**
```bash
# Install ollmcp
pip install ollmcp
# Run with auto-discovery (requires existing Claude Desktop config)
ollmcp --auto-discovery --model qwen3:4b
```
**Option C2: Manual setup (works independently)**
```bash
# Install ollmcp
pip install ollmcp
# Set environment variable
export JOPLIN_TOKEN="your_joplin_api_token_here"
# Run with manual server configuration
ollmcp --server "joplin:uvx joplin-mcp" --model qwen3:4b
```
## Example Usage
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant:
- **"List all my notebooks"** - See your Joplin organization
- **"Find notes about Python programming"** - Search your knowledge base
- **"Create a meeting note for today's standup"** - Quick note creation
- **"Tag my recent AI notes as 'important'"** - Organize with tags
- **"Show me my todos"** - Find task items with `find_notes(task=True)`
## Tool Permissions
The setup script offers **3 security levels**:
- **Read** (always enabled): Browse and search your notes safely
- **Write** (optional): Create new notes, notebooks, and tags
- **Update** (optional): Modify existing content
- **Delete** (optional): Remove content permanently
Choose the level that matches your comfort and use case.

## Advanced Configuration
### Alternative Installation Methods
#### Method 1: Traditional pip install
If you don't have `uvx` or prefer to customize MCP settings:
```bash
# Install the package
pip install joplin-mcp
# Run the setup script
joplin-mcp-install
```
This method provides the same functionality as `uvx joplin-mcp-install` but requires a local Python environment.
#### Method 2: Development Installation
For developers or users who want the latest features:
**macOS/Linux:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/alondmnt/joplin-mcp.git
cd joplin-mcp
./install.sh
```
**Windows:**
```batch
git clone https://github.com/alondmnt/joplin-mcp.git
cd joplin-mcp
install.bat
```
### Manual Configuration
If you prefer manual setup or the script doesn't work:
> **Note**: `uvx` is a tool for running Python applications in isolated environments without permanent installation. If you don't have it, install with `pip install uv` or use the "installed package" options below.
#### 1. Create Configuration File
Create `joplin-mcp.json` in your project directory:
```json
{
"token": "your_api_token_here",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 41184,
"timeout": 30,
"verify_ssl": false
}
```
#### 2. Claude Desktop Configuration
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
**Option A: Using uvx (Recommended)**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"joplin": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["joplin-mcp"],
"env": {
"JOPLIN_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
```
**Option B: Using installed package**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"joplin": {
"command": "joplin-mcp-server",
"env": {
"JOPLIN_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
```
#### 3. OllMCP Manual Configuration
**Option A: Using uvx (Recommended)**
```bash
# Set environment variable
export JOPLIN_TOKEN="your_token_here"
# Run with manual server configuration
ollmcp --server "joplin:uvx joplin-mcp" --model qwen3:4b
```
**Option B: Using installed package**
```bash
# Set environment variable
export JOPLIN_TOKEN="your_token_here"
# Run with manual server configuration
ollmcp --server "joplin:joplin-mcp-server" --model qwen3:4b
```
#### 4. More Client Configuration Examples
For additional client configurations including different transport options (HTTP, SSE, Streamable HTTP), see [client-config.json.example](client-config.json.example).
This file includes configurations for:
- **STDIO transport** (default, most compatible)
- **HTTP transport** (basic HTTP server mode)
- **SSE transport** (recommended for gemini-cli and OpenAI clients)
- **Streamable HTTP transport** (advanced web clients)
### Tool Permission Configuration
Fine-tune which operations the AI can perform by editing your config:
```json
{
"tools": {
"create_note": true,
"update_note": true,
"delete_note": false,
"create_notebook": true,
"delete_notebook": false,
"create_tag": true,
"update_tag": false,
"delete_tag": false
}
}
```
### Environment Variables
Alternative to JSON configuration:
```bash
export JOPLIN_TOKEN="your_api_token_here"
export JOPLIN_HOST="localhost"
export JOPLIN_PORT="41184"
export JOPLIN_TIMEOUT="30"
```
### HTTP Transport Support
The server supports both STDIO and HTTP transports:
```bash
# STDIO (default)
joplin-mcp-server
# HTTP transport
python run_fastmcp_server.py --transport http --port 8000
```
# Claude Desktop HTTP config
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"joplin": {
"transport": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
}
}
}
```
