TriliumNext (trilium-mcp)

Overview

TriliumNext (trilium-mcp) is a Model Context Protocol server that connects your MCP-compatible AI assistant directly to a self-hosted TriliumNext knowledge base. It reads and writes notes through TriliumNext's ETAPI, letting Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients access your personal knowledge base as a native tool during conversations and agent runs.

The server runs locally via Docker using the image ghcr.io/ovden13/trilium-mcp:0.1.5. You'll configure it with two environment variables: TRILIUM_URL pointing to your TriliumNext instance and TRILIUM_TOKEN for API authentication. Version 0.1.5 is published under the MIT license, with full source code available at OVDEN13/trilium-mcp on GitHub.

TriliumNext (trilium-mcp) is categorized as AI & Agents on mcp.site and integrates with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to earn the Verified badge and keep the details up to date.
