Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

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.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Pinto Notes and you get told the day something new turns up.

Pinto Notes — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Pinto Notes working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 170 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Pinto Notes as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Pinto Notes?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Pinto Notes need an API key?
No. Pinto Notes completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Pinto Notes open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Swift, 31 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.pintonotes.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
