MCP server overview
what is X_twee?
X_twee is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that implements a simple note storage and summarization service. It exposes note resources via a custom note:// URI scheme and provides an LLM-oriented prompt to summarize stored notes.
how to use X_twee?
- Run the server as an MCP server (examples provided for Claude Desktop). For development, configure your Claude/Claude Desktop MCP servers entry to run the X_twee command (examples use
uvfor development anduvxfor published servers). - Use the add-note tool to create notes (provide name and content).
- Invoke the summarize-notes prompt to generate a combined summary of all stored notes; pass an optional style argument (brief or detailed).
- Build/publish with the provided uv commands:
uv sync,uv build,uv publish. - Debug via the MCP Inspector (npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector) to inspect MCP messages over stdio.
key features
- note:// URI scheme for addressing individual notes
- Note resources include name, description and text/plain content
- add-note tool: create/update notes (required args: name, content)
- summarize-notes prompt: produces summaries from all notes with optional “style” (brief/detailed)
- MCP-compatible: works with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients
- Build and publish workflow (uv sync, uv build, uv publish)
use cases
- Personal note storage and automated summaries
- Aggregating research notes or meeting notes and generating brief or detailed summaries
- Integrating with Claude Desktop (or other MCP clients) to provide contextual note retrieval and summarization to an assistant
- Prototyping LLM-driven knowledge ingestion pipelines where notes are authored and periodically summarized
FAQ from X_twee
-
Q: Where are notes persisted? A: The repository describes the note resources and MCP state; the concrete persistence/backing store depends on your implementation and configuration (TODO in the repo). By default notes are managed within the MCP server state.
-
Q: How do I add a note? A: Use the add-note tool exposed by the server with the required string arguments
nameandcontent. The server updates state and notifies clients of resource changes. -
Q: How do I generate summaries? A: Call the summarize-notes prompt. Optionally pass
styleset tobriefordetailedto control summary granularity. -
Q: How to configure Claude Desktop to run X_twee? A: Add an entry under
mcpServersin your Claude Desktop config (paths: macOS~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json). Example dev config usesuvwith args; published usesuvx. -
Q: How to debug the MCP server? A: Use the MCP Inspector (
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory <path> run x-twee) to view stdio messages and interactions. -
Q: How to publish the package? A: Use
uv buildto create distributions anduv publishto push to PyPI. Provide PyPI credentials via env vars or command flags as documented. -
Q: Is there configuration required? A: The README notes a TODO for implementation-specific configuration; review the repository for any project-specific config you need to add.
