Notesnook FAQs

Question 1

What are the requirements to install Notesnook-MCP-Server?

Accepted Answer

You need Node.js version 22 or higher and the Notesnook desktop application installed on a Linux system. The installer script handles other dependencies automatically.

Question 2

Is the setup process complicated?

Accepted Answer

No, the installation is largely automated. A provided script handles dependency installation, sets up necessary directories, installs and enables a systemd user service for background operation, and guides you through an initial wizard for configuration.

Question 3

What is Notesnook-MCP-Server?

Accepted Answer

Notesnook-MCP-Server establishes a bidirectional bridge between your Notesnook desktop application and OpenClaw. It automates note synchronization and provides advanced note management capabilities via an HTTP/SSE interface.

Question 4

How does note synchronization work?

The server syncs notes hourly by processing exported Markdown .zip files from Notesnook. It also uses `chokidar` for real-time detection of new exports. Notes created or updated by OpenClaw are written to a designated 'import' folder, which Notesnook then picks up.

Question 5

What note management tools are available through OpenClaw?

Accepted Answer

It provides 9 HTTP/SSE tools for OpenClaw, enabling you to search, retrieve, create, and update notes, list and configure notebook access, and manage your daily to-do lists directly from OpenClaw.
