How to Set Up and Use MCP Template
This Scrapbox MCP server connects AI assistants to the Scrapbox knowledge-base platform, enabling them to read and write pages in your Scrapbox project. It supports listing pages, retrieving page content, performing full-text search, following outgoing and incoming links, creating new pages, updating existing content, inserting lines at specific positions, and optionally deleting pages. This is especially useful for teams using Scrapbox as a shared wiki who want an AI assistant to help author, search, and organize knowledge.
Prerequisites
- Bun runtime installed (https://bun.sh) for the recommended install method
- A Scrapbox account and an existing project at scrapbox.io
- Your Scrapbox project name (the slug in the URL: scrapbox.io/<project-name>)
- Your connect.sid session cookie from scrapbox.io (for authentication)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Obtain your Scrapbox session cookie
Log into scrapbox.io in your browser, open DevTools (F12), go to Application > Cookies, and copy the value of the 'connect.sid' cookie. This is required for the MCP server to authenticate API requests on your behalf.
Identify your Scrapbox project name
Your project name is the slug that appears in your Scrapbox URLs: https://scrapbox.io/<project-name>/<page-title>. Note this value — you will set it as SCRAPBOX_PROJECT.
Add the server to your MCP client configuration
Edit your MCP client's config file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) to add the scrapbox-mcp server, providing your project name and cookie.

"SCRAPBOX_PROJECT": "your-project-name",
"SCRAPBOX_COOKIE": "your-connect.sid-value",
"SCRAPBOX_PRESET": "full"
}
}
}
}Choose a tool preset
Set SCRAPBOX_PRESET to control which tools are available: 'minimal' (list + get only), 'readonly' (list, get, search, links), or 'full' (all tools including write operations). To enable page deletion, also set SCRAPBOX_ENABLE_DELETE=true.
Restart your MCP client and verify
Save the configuration and restart your MCP client. You should now be able to list pages, search for content, and create or update pages in your Scrapbox project through natural language prompts.

Example prompts for searching, reading, and writing in your Scrapbox wiki.
- "Search my Scrapbox project for pages about 'API design' and summarize the key points."
- "Show me the content of the Scrapbox page titled 'Meeting Notes 2024-01-15'."
- "Create a new Scrapbox page called 'GraphQL Best Practices' with sections for schema design, query optimization, and security."
- "Update the 'Team Glossary' page in Scrapbox by adding a definition for 'MCP' at the end."Troubleshooting MCP Template
Authentication fails with 401 errors from the Scrapbox API
Your connect.sid cookie may have expired. Log back into scrapbox.io, copy the fresh cookie value from DevTools, and update the SCRAPBOX_COOKIE environment variable in your MCP config.
Pages are not found despite existing in the project
Verify that SCRAPBOX_PROJECT is set to exactly the project slug as it appears in the URL (case-sensitive). Also check that the cookie belongs to an account that has read access to that project.
Write operations (create/update) are not available
Ensure SCRAPBOX_PRESET is set to 'full' (not 'minimal' or 'readonly'). If using SCRAPBOX_TOOLS for custom selection, confirm the write tool names are included in the comma-separated list.
