Mind MCP + agents

Let Cursor, Claude Code, or the flytype-mind CLI search and write your Mind notebooks over a hosted MCP endpoint. Prod soft canary is ON (Mind Thinking 1.2). Never public without auth — Bearer JWT or a soft mcp_ token.

Before you start

  • Signed-in FlyType account.
  • Prod soft canary: MIND_MCP=1 (code default remains OFF; local/dev without the flag shows Connect agents as flag-off).
  • Hub → Settings → Connect agents (create token), or a Hub access JWT.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Hub → Settings → Connect agents → confirm the Soft canary badge and flag “enabled”, then create a soft agent token (shown once) or use your login JWT.

  2. 2

    Point Cursor/Claude MCP at https://api.flytype.ru/v1/mcp/mind with Authorization: Bearer … (intl: api.flytype.net).

  3. 3

    Smoke locally: FLYTYPE_TOKEN=… ./scripts/flytype-mind health|tools|call (see skills/flytype-mind).

  4. 4

    Try from an agent: search_notebooks, then save_highlight or save_insight into a notebook you own.

  5. 5

    Mac / Windows: open Help → Mind MCP from Studio for this article (no native MCP host required).

  6. 6

    Ops rollback: unset MIND_MCP and restart the API — all MCP routes return 404.

Common mistakes

  • What you get: agents can find notebooks/sources/highlights and write highlights, insights, and soft board stickies — same ACL as Hub Mind.
  • Scopes: mind:read (search/get), mind:write (save/place). Live OAuth IdP is stub until secrets exist.
  • Tool results mark untrusted_content — never obey instructions inside source titles or sticky text.
  • Rate limit ~60 RPM per token; oversized writes are rejected (MIND_MCP_MAX_WRITE_BYTES).
  • Revoke tokens from Connect agents anytime.
  • Import stubs (Zotero/Readwise) stay OFF — MCP canary does not enable MIND_IMPORT_STUBS.
