old_string

MCP tool from MCP Server by inkdropapp

The exact text to find in the note body. Must match exactly one occurrence. Include enough surrounding context to ensure a unique match.

How to use it

Project documentation lists old_string for the MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
