Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Capture the screen, read/render notes, and upload files on a Ratta Supernote from an AI agent.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: SUPERNOTE_IP, SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supernote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supernote-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SUPERNOTE_IP": "your-value",
        "SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add supernote --env SUPERNOTE_IP=your-value --env SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER=your-value -- npx -y supernote-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supernote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supernote-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SUPERNOTE_IP": "your-value",
        "SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "supernote": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "supernote-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SUPERNOTE_IP": "your-value",
        "SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • SUPERNOTE_IP env
    Device IP (optionally with :port) from the Supernote mirroring popup. Optional — if unset, the server scans the LAN for the mirror.
  • SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER env
    Set to 0 to disable the LAN-scan fallback used when SUPERNOTE_IP is unset or unreachable.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Supernote 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?

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 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 (0.2.2) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

supernote-mcp

An MCP server for the Ratta Supernote e-ink tablet. It lets an AI agent see and work with your Supernote over the local Wi-Fi network:

  • Grab the live screen while you sketch or handwrite — *"what did I just draw?"*
  • Browse and read your saved notebooks — recognized handwriting as text, or pages as images.
  • Upload files to the device for you to read or annotate.
  • Download files from the device — retrieve annotated PDFs, exported notes, or any stored file.

The idea is collaborative prompting: handwrite on the tablet during a planning session and pull it straight into the conversation, or have the agent read and reason over notes you saved earlier.

Every tool is lazy — it touches the device only when invoked, so a session that never calls one makes no network calls to the tablet.

[!IMPORTANT]

**Unofficial, community-built project — not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by

Ratta / Supernote.** "Supernote" and "Ratta" are trademarks of their respective owner, used here

only for identification. It relies on reverse-engineered, undocumented LAN interfaces (screen

mirror + Browse & Access) that may change or break with firmware updates. Provided as-is under

the MIT license — use at your own risk.

Built on supernote-typescript for screen capture and .note parsing.

Prerequisites

  • A Supernote that supports Screen Mirroring (Manta / Nomad / A5X / A6X-class devices).
  • The tablet and the machine running this server on the same Wi-Fi network, with no VPN or proxy active — either will break the LAN mirror connection.
  • For the npx install path: Node.js ≥ 18. For bunx: Bun. The standalone binary needs neither.

Enable mirroring and find the IP

  1. On the Supernote, open the sidebar and turn on Screen Mirroring (a.k.a. "Cast"/"Screencast").
  2. A popup shows an address like 192.168.1.42. That's the device IP. The mirror serves on port 8080 (http:// :8080/screencast.mjpeg); the server appends :8080 for you.
  3. Keep mirroring on while you want the agent to be able to snapshot the canvas.

Set the IP once via the SUPERNOTE_IP environment variable, or pass it per-call as the tool's ip argument (an explicit argument wins over the env var).

Browse & Access (for the file tools)

supernote_list_files (and the note tools) use a separate device feature from screen mirroring: Browse & Access, the built-in Wi-Fi file server on port 8089.

  1. On the Supernote, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the drop-down toolbar and tap Browse & Access.
  2. A popup shows an address like http://192.168.1.42:8089 and stays open while it's active. The device IP is the same as for mirroring; the tools target port 8089 automatically.
  3. Keep the popup open while you want the agent to read or upload files.

Browse & Access and Screen Mirroring are independent toggles — enable whichever the task needs (or both). Discovery probes each port, so the device can be found with only one of them on.

Coping with a changing IP

The mirror address is a DHCP lease and can change between sessions. Two ways to stay robust:

  • Pin it (recommended): add a DHCP reservation on your router so the tablet always gets the same IP, then SUPERNOTE_IP never goes stale.
  • Automatic fallback: if the configured address is unreachable — or none is set — the server scans the local network for the mirror, uses the device it finds, and logs the new IP so you can update SUPERNOTE_IP. The scan only runs as a fallback (never on the fast path) and probes port 8080 across your subnet for the mirror's multipart stream. Disable it with SUPERNOTE_DISCOVER=0 if you'd rather it fail fast than scan the LAN.

Install & register with Claude Code

Pick whichever distribution suits you — none require this repo to be checked out.

# Recommended: published npm package via Node's npx

claude mcp add supernote --scope user --env SUPERNOTE_IP=192.168.1.42 -- npx -y supernote-mcp

If you already have Bun

claude mcp add supernote --scope user --env SUPERNOTE_IP=192.168.1.42 -- bunx supernote-mcp

Standalone binary (no runtime needed) — download the asset for your platform from the

latest GitHub Release (supernote-mcp-darwin-arm64, -darwin-x64, -linux-x64, -linux-arm64,

-windows-x64.exe), make it executable, then register its path:

chmod +x ./supernote-mcp-darwin-arm64 claude mcp add supernote --scope user --env SUPERNOTE_IP=192.168.1.42 -- /path/to/supernote-mcp-darwin-arm64

Restart Claude Code, then try: *"Snapshot my Supernote and tell me what I drew."*

On macOS the downloaded binary is unsigned; the first run may be blocked by Gatekeeper.

Right-click → Open once, or run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/supernote-mcp-darwin-arm64.

The tools

All tools accept an optional ip (device IP, optionally :port; defaults to SUPERNOTE_IP, else a LAN scan) and return a clear, actionable message on failure rather than hanging.

ToolNeedsInputReturns
supernote_snapshotScreen Mirroring (8080)ip?the live screen as image/png
supernote_list_filesBrowse & Access (8089)ip?, path?a listing — name, folder?, size, date, and a path to pass on
supernote_read_noteBrowse & Access (8089)ip?, patha note's recognized handwriting/text per page (or a note that recognition hasn't run)
supernote_render_noteBrowse & Access (8089)ip?, path, pages?note pages as image/png (all pages, capped at 20, or the pages you pick)
supernote_download_fileBrowse & Access (8089)ip?, path, out?downloads a file from the device to the local filesystem
supernote_upload_fileBrowse & Access (8089)ip?, path, directory?, filename?uploads a local file to the device (the only tool that writes to it)

Failures point at the usual causes — wrong IP, the relevant feature turned off, or the host/device not sharing a VPN-free Wi-Fi network — and time out fast (10s) rather than hanging.

All tools except supernote_upload_file are read-only. supernote_upload_file writes a file to the device (it reads a local file the server can access and POSTs it over Browse & Access). supernote_download_file reads a file from the device and saves it locally — use it to retrieve annotated PDFs, exported notes, or any file stored on the tablet.

Choosing the right tool

The server also ships this routing as MCP instructions, so a connected agent picks the right tool on its own. The map:

You want…Say something likeTool
What's on the screen *right now*"what did I just draw?", "look at my screen"supernote_snapshot
To find a saved note"what notes do I have?", "find my note about X"supernote_list_files
To read a note's words"read / summarise my meeting notes"supernote_read_note
To see a note's pages"show me that sketch", "look at page 2"supernote_render_note
To put a file on the tablet"send this PDF to my Supernote"supernote_upload_file
To get a file off the tablet"download my annotated PDF"supernote_download_file

Saved-note flow: supernote_list_files → take the entry's path → supernote_read_note (text, cheap — prefer for words) or supernote_render_note (images, for drawings or notes without recognized text). supernote_snapshot is separate — it's the *current screen*, not a saved file.

Download flow: supernote_list_files → find the file → supernote_download_file with the entry's path → file is saved locally for processing (e.g. rendering an annotated PDF's pages).

Local development

Bun is used only to run, typecheck, and build — it is not required by end users. This repo ships an optional devbox environment that provides Bun reproducibly; you can equally use a system Bun install.

bun install

Capture-first verification against a real device (writes a PNG you can open):

bun run src/capture.ts --ip 192.168.1.42 --out frame.png

Browse & Access (port 8089) — list a directory, download a file, upload a file:

bun run src/browse.ts list --ip 192.168.1.42 --path /Note bun run src/browse.ts get --ip 192.168.1.42 --path /Note/obsidian/x.note --out x.note bun run src/browse.ts put --ip 192.168.1.42 --path ./doc.pdf --dir /INBOX

Run the MCP server over stdio:

bun run src/server.ts

Inspect the tool interactively:

bunx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector bun run src/server.ts

bun run test # unit tests (bun:test) bun run typecheck # tsc --noEmit bun run build # node-compatible bundle -> dist/server.js (the npx/bunx entry) bun run build:binary # self-contained executable -> dist/supernote-mcp

bun build --compile cross-compiles too, e.g. bun build --compile --target=bun-linux-x64 src/server.ts --outfile dist/supernote-mcp-linux-x64.

How it works

src/capture.ts wraps fetchMirrorFrame(${ip}:8080), which parses the device's multipart/x-mixed-replace stream, extracts a frame, and decodes it via image-js. The frame is re-encoded to PNG (sidestepping PNG-vs-JPEG part-encoding differences across firmwares) and returned as base64. src/browse.ts is a client for the Browse & Access HTTP file server (port 8089): it lists directories (parsing the listing page's embedded JSON) and downloads files. src/resolve.ts holds the shared address resolution + LAN-scan fallback used by both, and src/discover.ts does the subnet scan (probing the mirror or Browse & Access endpoint to recognise the device). src/server.ts registers the tools on an McpServer over the stdio transport.
