get_note_history

MCP tool from Simplenote MCP by Automattic

List recent versions of a note with short content previews. Read-only operation; requires the Simperium API provider with write mode enabled in the current server.

How to use it

Project documentation lists get_note_history for the Simplenote MCP 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.
