What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    result = subprocess.run([str(python), str(Path(__file__).resolve()), *sys.argv[1:]])

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

claude mcp add joplin-mcp -- uvx joplin-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "joplin-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "joplin-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.joplin-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["joplin-mcp"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "joplin-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "joplin-mcp"

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: JOPLIN_TOKEN (Web Clipper authentication token from a running Joplin instance), JOPLIN_URL (Optional override for the Joplin Web Clipper base URL (default http://localhost:41184)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
