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.

llms
get_llms_txt
Return the site llms.txt index: what the site covers, every post with its Markdown URL, and other agent entry points. With full set to true, return llms-full.txt, which includes every post body. Use for a whole-site overview or bulk reading, not for finding one post; use search_posts for that.
post
get_post_markdown
Return the full Markdown of one post, with YAML frontmatter, as served at /<slug>.md. Use when you already have a slug from search_posts. To read many posts at once, use get_llms_txt with full set to true instead.
posts
search_posts
Find or list published posts. Returns slug, title, description, canonical URL, Markdown URL and last updated date for each match, newest updated first, without the post body. Use this first to discover slugs, then call get_post_markdown for the full text. Matches query case-insensitively against title, description and body; omit query to list the newest posts.

The Notetakers — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Notetakers do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_llms_txt, get_post_markdown, search_posts. 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 The Notetakers working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 16 of 91 checks got a reply (17.6%), average response time 377 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists The Notetakers 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 The Notetakers?
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 The Notetakers need an API key?
No. The Notetakers 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 The Notetakers?
It answers our handshake in 377 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
