Connects AI assistants to the local Notepatra editor. Grants agents tools for Git, databases, and notes while requiring manual confirmation for every file write.
Open on GitHubWhat notepatra-mcp does
The notepatra-mcp server bridges external AI agents with the native Notepatra desktop editor. It exposes 49 tools to assistants like Claude Code. Capabilities include Git repository inspection, read-only SQL queries through saved database connections, chart generation, and Noter notebook access.
The server runs entirely on the developer's computer as a local sidecar binary. Without a running Notepatra editor instance, the server cannot function. Security remains strict. Any write action halts until the user approves it manually inside the editor window.
What it helps with
- execute read-only SQL queries against saved database profiles
- verify file modifications manually inside the editor before applying writes
- supply local Git status and repository context to an assistant
- inspect Noter notes directly from an active editing session
Example prompts for the agent
- Inspect my current Git branch and modified files using Notepatra.
- Run a read-only SQL query on the saved database connection.
- Retrieve the deployment checklist from my Noter notes in the editor.
