Common questions

Is reMarkable MCP Server (Read/Write) safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: REMARKABLE_SSH_HOST, REMARKABLE_SSH_PASSWORD

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.3) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Setup:

Connect your reMarkable via USB
On your tablet: Settings → Storage → Enable "USB web interface"
Install via the button above

Why USB Web?

✅ Fast offline access over USB
✅ No subscription required
✅ Simple — just enable in Storage Settings

📋 Manual USB Web Configuration

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "remarkable": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["remarkable-mcp", "--usb"], "env": { "GOOGLE_VISION_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Troubleshooting:

Make sure your reMarkable is connected via USB and unlocked
Verify USB web interface is enabled in Settings → Storage
The tablet should be accessible at http://10.11.99.1

⚡ SSH Mode (Advanced)

For power users who need direct filesystem access. Faster than USB Web but requires developer mode (factory reset).
