list_notes

MCP tool from Simplenote MCP by Automattic

List recent notes, optionally filtered by tag.

How to use it

Project documentation lists list_notes 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.
