Frequently asked questions
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.
