How to Set Up and Use GetNote
The GetNote MCP server bridges AI assistants to the Get笔记 (Biji / GetNotes) knowledge platform via its Open API, offering more than 25 tools for creating, retrieving, updating, searching, and tagging notes as well as managing knowledge base collections. It authenticates with static API credentials or through an OAuth browser flow, making it suitable for both headless and desktop AI clients. Developers and knowledge workers who use GetNotes as their second brain can automate note capture and retrieval entirely through natural-language prompts in Claude or compatible editors.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher installed
- A GetNotes (biji.com) account
- A GetNotes Open API key and Client ID from https://www.biji.com/openapi
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Obtain API credentials
Log in to GetNotes and visit https://www.biji.com/openapi to generate your API key and Client ID. Save both values securely.
Run the server with npx
Use npx to launch the GetNote MCP server directly, passing credentials as flags.
npx getnote --api-key YOUR_API_KEY --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_IDConfigure Claude Desktop
Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS) using environment variables for credentials.

Example prompts for interacting with your GetNotes knowledge base through Claude.
- "Create a new note called 'AI Research Findings' with bullet points from our conversation"
- "Search my GetNotes for anything about machine learning"
- "Show me all notes tagged 'work' created in the last 7 days"
- "Organise my notes about React into a new knowledge base called 'Frontend'"
- "Generate a shareable link for my product roadmap note"Troubleshooting GetNote
The server starts but all tool calls return authentication errors
Verify that GETNOTE_API_KEY and GETNOTE_CLIENT_ID are correct and belong to the same GetNotes account. Regenerate keys at https://www.biji.com/openapi if needed.
npx getnote fails with 'package not found'
The package name on npm may differ from the slug. Try 'npx @getnote/mcp' instead, or check the npm registry for the correct package name.
Notes created through Claude do not appear in the GetNotes app
Refresh the GetNotes app. If still missing, check that your API credentials have write permissions enabled in the Open API settings on biji.com.
