Open Notebook

Overview

Open Notebook is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: MCP server that wraps the Open Notebook API. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.

It runs locally: the Python package open-notebook-mcp (via uvx) speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need OPEN_NOTEBOOK_URL. The current release is v0.3.0, published under the MIT license, with source at Epochal-dev/open-notebook-mcp on GitHub, where it has earned 43 stars.

You'll find Open Notebook in the Development category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
