How to Set Up and Use Evernote
The MCP Evernote server connects AI assistants to your Evernote account, enabling note creation, search, retrieval, update, and deletion through natural language. It supports full Evernote search syntax (including notebook filters, tags, and date ranges), bidirectional Markdown to ENML conversion, local file attachments, and optional change polling with webhook notifications. Users can manage their entire Evernote knowledge base through Claude without leaving their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ installed
- An Evernote account (personal or business)
- Either an Evernote API key pair (EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_KEY + EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_SECRET) or a direct access token (EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN), or browser cookies for cookie-based auth
- Port 3000 available for the OAuth callback (configurable via OAUTH_CALLBACK_PORT)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Run the authentication setup
Before using the server, run the auth setup tool to complete OAuth and store your access token. This opens a browser window for Evernote login.
npx -y -p @verygoodplugins/mcp-evernote mcp-evernote-authAdd to Claude Code via CLI
If using Claude Code, add the server with the claude mcp add command. The server starts automatically when needed.
claude mcp add evernote "npx -y -p @verygoodplugins/mcp-evernote mcp-evernote"Or add to Claude Desktop config
For Claude Desktop, add the server block to your claude_desktop_config.json with your Evernote credentials as environment variables.
{
"mcpServers": {
"evernote": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@verygoodplugins/mcp-evernote", "mcp-evernote"],
"env": {
"EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here",
"EVERNOTE_ENVIRONMENT": "production"
}
}
}
}Optional: enable change polling
To receive notifications when notes change, enable polling by setting EVERNOTE_POLLING_ENABLED and EVERNOTE_POLL_INTERVAL. The minimum poll interval is 900000ms (15 minutes).
"EVERNOTE_POLLING_ENABLED": "true",
"EVERNOTE_POLL_INTERVAL": "900000"Restart your client and test
Restart Claude Desktop and ask it to list your Evernote notebooks or search for a note to confirm the connection is working.
Evernote Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop config using a direct Evernote access token for production environment.

}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts to use once the server is connected in Claude Desktop.
- "Search my Evernote for notes tagged 'project' created in the last 30 days"
- "Create a new note in my 'Work' notebook titled 'Meeting Notes June 2026' with today's agenda"
- "List all my Evernote notebooks and how many notes are in each"
- "Find all notes in my 'Recipes' notebook that mention chicken"
- "Update my note 'Shopping List' to add milk and eggs"Troubleshooting Evernote
OAuth fails or browser does not open during auth setup
Make sure port 3000 is not in use by another process (or set OAUTH_CALLBACK_PORT to an available port). If you have an API key, set EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_KEY and EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_SECRET directly instead of using OAuth flow.
Notes are created in sandbox instead of production
Set EVERNOTE_ENVIRONMENT=production in your environment variables. The server defaults to sandbox mode for safety; production must be explicitly enabled.
Attachments from local files are not uploading
Set the EVERNOTE_ALLOWED_FILE_ROOTS environment variable to the directory paths you want to allow, e.g. '/Users/you/Documents'. The server restricts file access to whitelisted roots for security.
