FAQ from PinThePiece MCP server

Where are notes stored?

Notes are stored locally in ~/.pinthepiece/notes/ with a hierarchical structure organized by year and month, plus a backup directory and an index file.

What data format does each note use?

Each note is a JSON file containing content, created/modified timestamps, tags, an optional description, and metadata including format version, last backup timestamp, and content checksum.

What tools and prompts does the server provide?

One tool: add-note (required: name, content; optional: tags, description). One prompt: summarize-notes (optional style argument: brief/detailed).

How does the server ensure data safety?

It uses atomic file operations, automatic backups before modifications, file format versioning, checksum verification, file locking for concurrent access, and transaction-like rollback on errors.

What are the runtime requirements?

The server runs as a Python package distributed via PyPI and requires only uv or uvx to execute. No external database is needed; all data is stored on the local filesystem.
