### Description (declared)

# Org-roam MCP Server

**[org-roam-ai](../README.md) > MCP Server**

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides clean, typed tool interfaces for AI agents to interact with an org-roam knowledge management system running in Emacs.

## Overview

This server wraps existing org-roam elisp functions via `emacsclient`, providing structured MCP tools that can be used by AI agents (particularly designed for n8n AI Agent nodes) instead of complex shell command workflows.

## Features

### Core MCP Tools

- **create_note** - Create new org-roam notes with proper structure and metadata
- **add_daily_entry** - Add structured entries to daily notes (journal or TODO types)
- **get_daily_content** - Retrieve daily note content
- **search_notes** - Basic search across note titles and content
- **sync_database** - Sync org-roam database

## Requirements

- Python 3.8+
- Emacs with org-roam running
- Emacs server accessible via `emacsclient`
- The `org-roam-api.el` functions available in your Emacs instance
