test-server

You have a lightweight MCP server that stores notes and exposes simple tools to manage and summarize them. It runs locally via standard MCP tooling and exposes a note:// resource scheme so you can access individual notes by name, description, and text content. It also includes a prompt to summarize all stored notes and a tool to add new notes. This guide shows you how to use it, how to install and run it, and key configuration options you’ll encounter while working with MCP clients and the server

How to use

You can interact with this MCP server through an MCP client to perform two main actions. First, add new notes using the add-note tool. Each note requires a name and content. Second, generate a summary of all stored notes with the summarize-notes prompt, which can adjust detail level with a style parameter (brief or detailed). You can then access individual notes via the custom note:// URI scheme, which provides a structured way to read the note name, description, and text/plain content.

Typical usage flow:

• Start the server in development or production mode using the MCP runner you prefer.
• Use the add-note tool to deposit new notes with a name and content.
• Use the summarize-notes prompt to create a consolidated summary of all notes, optionally selecting a detail style.
• Retrieve and read notes through the note:// URIs exposed by the server for quick reference.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before running the server:

• MCP tooling installed (the MCP runner utilities you use to launch stdio servers).
• A compatible environment to run the MCP server binary or script as shown in the development or published configurations.

Step by step start in development mode (stdio):

• Open your terminal.
• Start the server using the development command shown in the configuration example:
• Command: uv
• Arguments: --directory <path-to-test-server-directory> run test-server
• The server will start and wait for interactions from MCP clients.

Step by step start in production/published mode (stdio):
- Open your terminal.
- Start the server using the published command:
  - Command: uvx
  - Arguments: test-server
- The server will connect to the MCP ecosystem through the standard stdio channel.

Additional notes

Tools exposed by this server include add-note and summarize-notes. The add-note tool takes name and content as required string arguments and updates server state, notifying clients of resource changes. The summarize-notes prompt creates summaries of all stored notes and accepts an optional style argument to control detail level (brief or detailed). Access to stored notes uses the note:// URI scheme where each note resource provides a name, description, and text/plain mimetype.

Available tools

add-note

Adds a new note to the server by providing a name and content as required string arguments. This updates the server state and notifies clients of resource changes.

summarize-notes

Creates summaries of all stored notes, with an optional style argument to control detail level (brief or detailed).
