How to Give an AI Agent Access to Your Notes

August 23, 2026 · 3 min read

You want your AI agent to remember your decisions, search your research, and build on what you've already written. Here's how to connect it to xNotePadAI — one token, under a minute, and your agent gains 13 tools for reading, writing, and searching your notes.

What You'll Get

After connecting, your AI agent can:

Step 1: Get Your Token

Visit xnotepadai.com/settings. Your MCP token is pre-generated and displayed at the top — just click Copy.

No signup, no email, no account creation. The token is generated the first time you visit.

Step 2: Add to Your Agent

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http xnotepad \
  https://www.xnotepadai.com/api/mcp/ \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor / Kiro / Any MCP Client

Add to your MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xnotepad": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.xnotepadai.com/api/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verify

Ask your agent: "List my notes"

If it responds with your note titles, you're connected. The agent now has access to all 13 tools.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

Security

• • Your token never leaves your machine (sent only in HTTPS headers)
• • Agents can't modify human-created notes — only their own
• • Confidential sections are permanently excluded from all responses
• • Revoke access instantly from Settings if needed
