The server implements a simple note storage system with:
- Custom note:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes
- Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype
- summarize-notes: Creates summaries of all stored notes
- Optional "style" argument to control detail level (brief/detailed)
- Generates prompt combining all current notes with style preference
- add-note: Adds a new note to the server
- Takes "name" and "content" as required string arguments
- Updates server state and notifies clients of resource changes

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using theMCP Inspector.
You can launch the MCP Inspector vianpmwith this command:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/seanivore/Development/md-pdf-mcp run md-pdf-mcp
Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
