You can run a TypeScript MCP server that exposes text notes as resources you can access and create. This server provides a simple, practical example of MCP concepts: resources representing notes with URIs and metadata, and a tool to create new notes. It’s useful for learning how clients discover, read, and modify data through a consistent MCP interface.

How to use

You interact with the convex MCP Server through an MCP client to list, access, and create notes. Notes are exposed as resources with note:// URIs and include a title, content, and metadata. You can read notes in plain text and use the create_note tool to add new entries. Use the client to browse available notes, open a note by its URI, and invoke the create tool to store new notes in server state.

Typical usage patterns include: listing existing notes, opening a note to view its title and content, and creating new notes with a title and body. The server’s simple design helps you understand how resources, URIs, and tools interact within the MCP ecosystem.

How to install

Prerequisites you need on your machine: Node.js installed (version 14+ is common for TypeScript projects), and npm to manage dependencies.

Install dependencies for the server project.

npm install

Build the server so it can run in runtime mode.

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild while you work, start the watcher.

npm run watch

To integrate with Claude Desktop (or similar MCP clients), configure the MCP server in the client with the path to the built entry script. On MacOS, place the config at the following path; on Windows, use the corresponding user configuration path.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "convex-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/convex-mcp-server/build/index.js"
    }
  }
}

Additional setup notes

If you want to debug the MCP server experience, you can use the MCP Inspector tooling. Run the inspector script to start debugging tools and obtain a URL to open in your browser.

npm run inspector

Available tools

create_note

Creates a new text note by providing a title and content, storing the note in the server state.
