note2it MCP - AI Agent Knowledge Management for Hermes Agent¶
Give your AI agents a persistent notebook system with meeting transcripts, a link graph, and precise, undoable edits.
What It Does¶
note2it is a notes workspace designed for human and AI agent collaboration:
- Notebooks, sections, and nested pages - hierarchical organization
- Meeting pages - transcripts and structured summaries live on the meeting's page, so an agent reads them like any other page
- AI agent access - search, read, and make targeted, undoable edits
- Wiki-link graph - backlinks and outgoing links between pages
- Fast slash-command editor - keyboard-first for humans
- MCP-native - Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity and other MCP clients connect directly or through a local bridge
For teams managing knowledge work, this replaces scattered note pages, meeting notes, and task lists with a single, AI-accessible knowledge base.
Quick Setup¶
Prerequisites¶
- note2it account: sign up at note2it.com. The AI-assistant connector is included on the Premium and Pro plans (not Standard).
- Node.js 18 or newer for the local bridge (
npxships with it). - Personal API token: in note2it open Settings → AI assistants and create a token. It starts with
n2i_and is shown once. Pick read-only (notes:read) or read and write (notes:write).
Option A - Local bridge (used by Hermes Agent)¶
The bridge is a small stdio process: your MCP client launches it, and it forwards every MCP message to note2it's hosted server at https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp. The client sees the same tools the hosted server exposes.
hermes mcp add note2it -- npx -y @note2it/mcp
Package: @note2it/mcp. Set NOTE2IT_API_KEY to your token.
Or manual config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"note2it": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@note2it/mcp"],
"env": {
"NOTE2IT_API_KEY": "n2i_..."
}
}
}
}
Environment variables:
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
NOTE2IT_API_KEY |
yes | Personal API token (n2i_...). NOTE2IT_TOKEN also works. |
NOTE2IT_URL |
no | MCP endpoint. Defaults to https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp. Must be https:// (http:// is accepted only for localhost). |
Option B - Direct remote connection¶
Clients that support remote MCP servers can skip the package and the token entirely and connect to:
https://app.note2it.com/api/mcp/mcp
note2it documents this one-click path for Claude (web, desktop, mobile) and ChatGPT developer mode, which sign in with OAuth instead of pasting a key. Perplexity connects with the same endpoint using the token as an Authorization: Bearer header. For Hermes Agent, the stdio bridge in Option A is the supported path.
Tools¶
Read tools (notes:read scope):
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
note2it-search |
Full-text search across every page you can read, with notebook, section, tag and date filters |
note2it-fetch |
Read one page by id or exact title, as Markdown or as a block outline with ids |
note2it-browse |
Walk the notebook → section → page hierarchy |
note2it-links |
Backlinks, outgoing links and graph neighbours around a page |
note2it-tags |
Tag index with page counts and recent pages |
note2it-list-templates |
List template pages and the fill-in fields each one has |
Write tools (notes:write scope):
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
note2it-create-page |
Create a page from Markdown in a notebook and section |
note2it-update-page |
Replace a page's title or content, or toggle its template flag |
note2it-patch-page |
Edit part of a page without touching the rest |
note2it-move-page |
Move a page between notebooks or sections, or reorder it |
note2it-create-from-template |
Create a filled-in page from one of your templates |
note2it-page-history |
List a page's saved revisions from assistant edits, and restore one |
note2it-trash-page |
Move to trash or restore. Never deletes permanently |
note2it-upload-image |
Import an image from a public https URL into the media library |
The tool list comes from the server, so new note2it tools appear without updating the bridge package. There is no separate transcript or action-item tool: meeting transcripts and action items live on the meeting's page and are read with note2it-search and note2it-fetch.
Use Cases for Business Operators¶
1. Meeting Follow-Through¶
A meeting page carries the transcript plus the structured summary. An agent can read it, pull the action items, and draft the follow-up in the same pass.
Agent prompt: "Fetch yesterday's product review meeting page in note2it.
List every action item and draft the follow-up messages."
2. Persistent AI Memory¶
Unlike chat history that disappears, note2it gives your AI agents a permanent memory layer. Research, decisions, and context persist across sessions.
Agent prompt: "Search note2it for our Q2 marketing strategy discussion
from March and summarize the decisions we made."
3. Team Knowledge Base¶
A shared repository that both humans and AI agents read, write and maintain. Every assistant edit is a saved revision, so a bad write is restored with note2it-page-history rather than retyped.
4. Project Documentation¶
Project specs, meeting notes and decisions in one searchable, AI-accessible space, with note2it-move-page and note2it-browse keeping the structure usable as it grows.
Integration with CorpusIQ¶
note2it + CorpusIQ is a decision-support pipeline:
- CorpusIQ - pull the business numbers (revenue, traffic, pipeline) from connected systems, cited
- note2it - retrieve past decisions, context and meeting history
- AI agent - make recommendations with both the live numbers and the reasoning behind them
The agent sees current operational data and the historical decision context in one answer.
Pricing¶
The AI-assistant connector is included on the Premium and Pro plans. See note2it.com/en/pricing for current prices.
Limitations¶
- The connector is not on the Standard plan; an unentitled plan returns HTTP 401 with a valid token.
- A token can only do what its scope allows: a read-only token makes every write tool fail with a scope error.
- The local bridge is new (npm v0.1.0, published Oct 30, 2026) - the tool surface is server-driven and may change without a package release.
- Product name is spelled note2it, all lowercase.
