joplin-mcp — MCP Server for Joplin Notes

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.
