How to Set Up and Use Mowen

The Mowen MCP server wraps the Mowen Notes (墨问笔记) API, enabling AI assistants in Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients to create, edit, and manage rich-text notes directly in your Mowen account. It supports structured content including bold text, highlights, hyperlinks, quoted sections, internal note references, and file attachments (images, audio, PDFs). Developers and knowledge workers who use Mowen as their note-taking platform can use this server to have AI agents draft and publish notes without leaving their coding or chat environment.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+ installed
  • pip available for installing dependencies
  • A Mowen (墨问笔记) account and API key from the Mowen platform
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
1

Clone the repository

Clone the mowen-mcp-server repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/z4656207/mowen-mcp-server.git
cd mowen-mcp-server
2

Install Python dependencies

Install the required packages: mcp for the MCP framework, httpx for HTTP requests, and pydantic for data validation.

pip install mcp httpx pydantic
3

Install the package in editable mode

Install the package so the mowen_mcp_server module is importable from anywhere on your system.

pip install -e .
4

Set the MOWEN_API_KEY environment variable

Obtain your API key from the Mowen platform settings and export it in your shell, or add it to your MCP client config's env block.

export MOWEN_API_KEY=your_mowen_api_key_here
5

Configure your MCP client

Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings, passing the API key through the environment.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mowen-mcp-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mowen_mcp_server.server"],
      "env": {
        "MOWEN_API_KEY": "your_mowen_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Mowen Examples

Client configuration

Claude Desktop or Cursor configuration to launch the Mowen MCP server using the installed Python module.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mowen-mcp-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mowen_mcp_server.server"],
      "env": {
        "MOWEN_API_KEY": "your_mowen_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Natural language prompts you can use once the Mowen MCP server is connected to your AI assistant.

- "Create a new Mowen note titled 'Meeting Summary' with today's key points"
- "Add a note to Mowen with a quoted section and the tag 'learning'"
- "Edit my existing Mowen note to add a bold heading at the top"
- "Create a note in Mowen and attach the image at /Users/me/screenshot.png"

Troubleshooting Mowen

Server fails with 'MOWEN_API_KEY not set' or authentication error

Ensure MOWEN_API_KEY is set in the env block of your MCP client config. The value must be your actual Mowen API key — you can regenerate it using the reset_api_key tool if your key has expired.

Module not found error when starting the server

Run pip install -e . from inside the cloned mowen-mcp-server directory to make the mowen_mcp_server package importable. If using a virtual environment, ensure it is activated when configuring the client, or use the full path to the Python executable.

File attachments fail to upload

Verify the file path is an absolute path and the file exists and is readable. For remote URLs, ensure the URL is publicly accessible. Supported file types are images, audio files, and PDFs.
