## About

# Memos MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides tools for interacting with a [Memos](https://github.com/usememos/memos) instance. This server allows AI assistants to search, create, and update memos through the Memos API.

## Features

- **Search Memos**: Search for memos with filters like creator, tags, visibility, and content
- **Create Memos**: Create new memos with markdown support
- **Update Memos**: Update existing memos (content, visibility, pinned status)
- **Get Memo**: Retrieve a specific memo by UID

## Installation

1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone 
cd memos_mcp
```

2. Install dependencies:

### Using uv (recommended)
```bash
uv sync
```

### Using pip
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Configuration

Set the following environment variables:

- `MEMOS_BASE_URL`: The base URL of your Memos instance (default: `http://localhost:5230`)
- `MEMOS_API_TOKEN`: Your Memos API authentication token (optional for public instances)

### Getting an API Token

1. Log into your Memos instance
2. Go to Settings → Access Tokens
3. Create a new access token
4. Copy the token and set it as the `MEMOS_API_TOKEN` environment variable

Example:
```bash
export MEMOS_BASE_URL="https://memos.example.com"
export MEMOS_API_TOKEN="your-token-here"
```

## Usage

### Running the Server

#### Using uvx (no installation required)
```bash
# Run directly with uvx
uvx --from . memos-mcp
```

#### Using uv after installation
```bash
# After running 'uv sync'
uv run memos-mcp
```

#### Using FastMCP directly
```bash
fastmcp run server.py
```

#### Programmatic usage
```python
from server import mcp

# The server is ready to use
```

### Available Tools
