What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get-skills

    Use for startup ideas, office hours, and “I installed this connector to work through an idea”. Inside: office-hours-zernote (challenge the idea), zernote-plan-research. Omit id for the catalog, then pass id for the full playbook. Not for listing interviews or projects. Works with

  • projects_read

    Read existing research folders. Not for a new startup idea or office hours — call get-skills first. action=list returns projects for the authenticated user.

  • projects_edit

    Create or rename projects. action=create needs name; action=rename needs id and name. Delete is not supported yet.

  • guides_read

    Read the interview guide stored on a project. The guide has an intro, ordered blocks (title, minutes, questions, notes), total time, a notes template, and any markdown that did not parse. Returns an empty guide when the project has none.

  • guides_create

    Create the first interview guide on a project. Use this to upload a new guide. Pass structured fields, not markdown: intro, blocks (title, minutes, notes, questions with text/note/key), and notes_template. Needs at least one block with a title. Fails if the project already has a

  • guides_edit

    Replace an existing interview guide from markdown. To create the first guide, call guides_create. Text before the first ## is the intro. ## Title (12) or ## Title (7–11) is a block; minutes are the last number in parentheses. Lines starting with - or 1. are questions; a leading *

  • interviews_read

    Read interviews. Typical path: (1) action=list with summary_mode=brief (default) — returns the short # Summary. List items include need_approve_speakers (+ pending_speakers / hint): when true, show interviewer quote links then confirm via assign_speakers; one identity confirm bac

  • interviews_edit

    Rename, move, write summary/notes, retranscribe, assign/confirm speakers, or toggle voiceprint. action=rename needs id+title; move needs interview_ids (+ optional project_id); write_summary needs id+summary; write_notes needs id+notes; retranscribe needs id+language (charges tran

  • search

    Semantic search for evidence / counter-evidence after you have interview context (e.g. from list/summary). Optional interview_id scopes search to one interview and returns smaller text windows. Returns matching_chunks[{chunk_index, text, similarity, start_seconds?, url}]. CITATIO

  • cards_read

    List L2 coded claim-cards (claim + optional quote + chunk_index + lens + codes + start_seconds? + url). Filter by project_id, interview_id / interview_ids, codes (any match), or lens (workflow|gtm|privacy|other). CITATION REQUIRED: actively cite each card.quote to the user as mar

  • insights_read

    Read the project Insights graph in pages or by node. action=list returns a compact folder-wide outline (groups + interviews) plus a page of insight bodies. Filter with interview_id, group_id (DB UUID, not UI group-0), group_name, insight_ids, or ungrouped_only. action=get_node re

  • jtbd_read

    Read JTBD job graph segments and trees. action=list_segments needs folder_id/project_id. action=get_tree needs segment_id or interview_id. CITATION REQUIRED: cite job quotes as ["text"](interview_url).

  • jtbd_edit

    Edit JTBD graph: extract_interview, move_interview, create_segment, fill_in job, update_job, delete_job.

  • upload_interview

    Opens the in-Claude MCP Apps widget "Upload To Zernote" so the user can drop a file into Inbox in this chat (audio/video max 2GB; text .txt/.md or PDF max 50MB). Use when the user wants to upload/add an interview or get started on an empty account — this is the usual ingest path

  • mcp_prepare_upload

    App-only: create an Inbox interview and return a presigned R2 upload URL (or multipart upload_id for large files). Pass interview_id (+ upload_id for multipart) to resume without a new card.

  • mcp_sign_upload_parts

    App-only: return presigned R2 URLs for one or more multipart upload parts (resume-safe).

  • mcp_confirm_upload

    App-only: confirm a completed R2 upload (single PUT or multipart) for an Inbox interview. Audio/video is enqueued for transcription (STT + diarization). Text (.txt/.md) and PDF are stored and marked ready immediately — no transcription.

Common questions

Is Zernote safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?
