MCP tools (local)

MCP tools are the same in Cloud and Local. In local mode, they operate on folders on your machine.

Use tools in local mode

Once your MCP client runs the local server (see Local install), tools read and write your local project folders — unless you've routed a project through cloud with per-project routing.

Common tools

• search_notes to find notes
• read_note to load a note
• write_note to create or update a note
• edit_note to append or replace sections
• schema_validate, schema_infer, schema_diff for schema workflows
• build_context for graph traversal via memory:// URLs

Most tools default to output_format="text" (human-readable) and also accept "json" (machine-readable); build_context defaults to "json" — see the MCP Tools Reference for per-tool defaults.

Example

search_notes(query="architecture", project="main")
