MCP Server

The Context Nest MCP server exposes vault operations as tools that any MCP-compatible AI client can use.

Install


npm install -g @promptowl/contextnest-mcp-server

Configuration

Add to your MCP client’s configuration:


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextnest": {
      "command": "contextnest-mcp-server",
      "args": ["--vault", "/path/to/your/vault"]
    }
  }
}

How it works

The MCP server wraps the same engine used by the CLI. It reads from and writes to the vault on disk, providing AI clients with structured access to your knowledge.

Any AI client that supports MCP — Claude, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, and others — can connect to the Context Nest server and operate on your vault using these tools.
