Midnote

Write skills. Call them via MCP.

Keep coding rules, playbooks, and domain knowledge in a Skills folder. Cursor and other editors load them through MCP tools—list, get, and search—straight into the model context.

Skills folder convention

Notes under the workspace-root Skills folder are AI skills. No tags or schema needed.

Call from Cursor via MCP

Mode A: live API. Mode B: CLI sync + local stdio. Same tool surface either way.

Agents as a secondary exit

Ship the same notes as Knowledge Agents to web chat, API, Slack, and Discord.

Inject context with list_skills / get_skill / search_skills.

Core capabilities

Skills / MCP

Expose Skills-folder notes as MCP tools for Cursor and other clients.

Direct API + Local sync

Use mcp_ tokens for live reads, or midnote skills sync with local stdio.

Knowledge Agents

Ship the same markdown to web chat, API, Slack, and Discord agents.

Nested markdown notes

Structure skills and knowledge as parent-child notes; sync via CLI too.

Why Midnote

Don't trap rules in a wiki. Put them in the AI's hands.

Cursor rules and copy-paste go stale. Midnote keeps Skills editable on the web and reachable over MCP.
