Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 110 stars · 11 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-verified entrypoint: pip install joplin-mcp.

Main

  • Use joplin-mcp-install (or uvx --from joplin-mcp ...) to automate token wiring and client configuration instead of editing JSON by hand.

  • If you’re on Claude Code, install the orchestration plugin so the agent can pick better read/update strategies for long notes and bulk tagging.

  • Treat note access as scoped automation: keep write tools enabled only when you actually need Create/Update/Delete permissions.

Source-backed notes

  • README shows an automated installer flow: pip install joplin-mcp then joplin-mcp-install (or uvx --from joplin-mcp joplin-mcp-install).
  • README includes Claude Code plugin install commands (/plugin marketplace add alondmnt/joplin-mcp and /plugin install joplin-mcp).
  • README documents client setups for Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients, and notes that Joplin API token is required.

FAQ

  • Do I need to edit config files manually?: Not usually — README recommends the installer which configures clients automatically.
  • Can I pin a version for stability?: Yes — README shows uvx --from joplin-mcp==... and range pinning examples.
  • Does it support Claude Code?: Yes — README includes a Claude Code plugin flow via /plugin marketplace add + /plugin install.
