Connect Claude to your notes

note2it speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard AI assistants use to work with your tools. Connect an assistant like Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini and ask it to search, read, and — if you allow it — edit your notes. You stay in control: you choose what each assistant can do, every change is undoable, and you can revoke access any time.

Available on the Premium and Pro plans.

Option 1 — One click in Claude (recommended)

Works in Claude on the web, desktop, and mobile.

  1. In Claude, open connector settings and add a custom connector with this URL:
    https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp
  2. Claude sends you to a note2it screen. Sign in, choose whether the assistant may read only or also edit, and approve.
  3. That's it — Claude can now work with your notes. No keys to copy.

Option 2 — An API token (Claude Code & headless tools)

  1. In note2it, go to Settings → AI assistants and create a token with the access you want (read, or read + edit). Copy it — it's shown only once.
  2. Add note2it to your client with the token, for example in Claude Code:
    claude mcp add --transport http note2it https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Desktop apps that launch a local server

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients that start MCP servers from a config file can run the official note2it bridge. It forwards every request to the hosted note2it server with your API token — nothing else to install, and the token never leaves your computer except to reach note2it over HTTPS. Create a token in Settings → AI assistants, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "note2it": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@note2it/mcp"],
      "env": { "NOTE2IT_API_KEY": "YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js 18 or later. Prefer a direct connection where your app supports remote servers: it uses OAuth, so there's no token to paste.

Connect Perplexity

Perplexity connects to note2it with an API token. Custom connectors require a Perplexity Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan.

  1. In note2it, go to Settings → AI assistants and create a token with the access you want (read, or read + edit). Copy it — it's shown only once.
  2. In Perplexity, open Settings → Connectors → Add connector → Custom, and enter the note2it server URL:
    https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp
  3. Set the authentication method to “API key” and add an “Authorization” header whose value is the word Bearer, a space, then your token:
    Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
  4. Save the connector. Perplexity verifies it right away — then ask it to search or read your notes.

Connect ChatGPT

ChatGPT calls connectors “apps”. Developer mode and Deep Research connectors require a ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu plan.

Full access — Developer mode

Read and edit your notes, like Claude. Uses OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

  1. In ChatGPT, turn on Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, then add a custom connector with this URL:
    https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp
  2. Choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to a note2it screen — sign in, pick read or read + edit, and approve. No client ID or secret to enter.

Deep Research

Let ChatGPT's Deep Research search your notes and cite them in its report (read-only).

  1. Add a second custom connector pointing at the Deep Research URL:
    https://app.note2it.com/api/deep-research/mcp
  2. Authorize it the same way, then pick note2it as a source when you start a Deep Research run.

Connect Gemini

Gemini connects to note2it through Google Antigravity — Google's agent app that replaced the standalone Gemini CLI for individuals — using a note2it API token.

  1. In note2it, go to Settings → AI assistants and create a token with the access you want (read, or read + edit). Copy it — it's shown only once.
  2. In Antigravity, open the Agent panel, then choose ⋯ → MCP Servers → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config.
  3. Add note2it to the mcpServers object, with your token as the bearer:
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "note2it": {
          "serverUrl": "https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  4. Save the file and restart Antigravity — then ask Gemini to search or edit your notes.

Tools your assistant gets

These are the exact tool names an assistant sees once connected. Read tools work with either permission; edit tools need read + edit.

The setup on this page is the only official one. The hosted server is at the URL shown above, and the only official package is @note2it/mcp.

Optional: give your assistant a memory

note2it never tells your assistant to remember things on its own — it only does what you ask. If you'd like it to remember your preferences and decisions across chats, paste these lines into your assistant's own instructions. You can change or remove them any time.

Use my note2it notes as your memory. At the start of a conversation, search my note2it notes tagged #memory and use what's relevant. When I share a lasting preference, project detail or decision, or say "remember this", save it as a short page in my note2it notebook "AI Memory", tagged #memory, with today's date. Check first whether a page on that topic already exists and add to it instead. Never save passwords, keys, or anything I ask you to keep out of my notes.

Where to paste it

Saving needs the read + edit permission. Memory pages are ordinary notes: read, edit or delete them like any other page.
