Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

draw
draw_svg_image
Creates custom vector graphics and illustrations from SVG code. Use for freeform drawings, icons, logos, custom shapes, artistic designs, precise geometric patterns, or when user needs pixel-perfect control over visual elements. "draw an image", "create an icon", "design a logo", "make a custom graphic", or needs specific visual styling not suited to standard diagrams. Choose this over Mermaid when the user wants artistic/custom graphics rather than structured diagrams. Supports an optional background object: choose a color (white by default; use black when the user asks for dark mode; yellow also supported) and a pattern (blank, dotted, or squared; defaults to dotted). Use only these literal color names—no aliases or hex codes.
generate
generate_mermaid_diagram
Creates visual diagrams from Mermaid syntax. Supports three diagram types: flowcharts (process flows, decision trees, workflows), mindmaps (hierarchical ideas, brainstorming, concept maps), and timelines (chronological events, project milestones, histories). "create a flowchart", "visualize the process", "show the workflow", "make a mindmap", "brainstorm ideas", "map concepts", "create a timeline", "show events over time", or describes structured visualization needs. Choose this over SVG when the user wants a structured diagram rather than freeform graphics. Supports an optional background object: choose a color (white by default; use black when the user asks for dark mode; yellow also supported) and a pattern (blank, dotted, or squared; defaults to dotted). Use only these literal color names—no aliases or hex codes.
markdown
create_markdown_text_document
Render markdown content as beautifully formatted rich text in an interactive Goodnotes widget. Supports headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and more. Use this to present any text content the user wants to see formatted, save, or share. "show this as markdown", "format this text", "create a document", "save these notes", or any request involving structured text display.

Goodnotes — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Goodnotes do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_markdown_text_document, draw_svg_image, generate_mermaid_diagram. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Goodnotes working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 587 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Goodnotes?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Goodnotes need an API key?
No. Goodnotes completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Goodnotes?
It answers our handshake in 587 ms on average, which is faster than 17% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
