# Capacities MCP Plus

An enhanced MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [Capacities](https://capacities.io), providing seamless integration with your knowledge management system.

> **Note:** This is a fork of [jemgold/capacities-mcp](https://github.com/jemgold/capacities-mcp) with additional features and fixes.

## What's Different from the Original

| Feature | Original | Plus |
|---------|----------|------|
| **Read Object Content** | Not available | Retrieve full note content by object ID |
| **fastmcp Version** | 1.27.3 | 3.25.4 (fixes MCP SDK compatibility) |
| **Windows Support** | May have issues | Tested with cmd wrapper |
| **npm Package** | `capacities-mcp` | `capacities-mcp-plus` |

### New Tool: `capacities_read_object_content`

Retrieve the full content of any Capacities object by its ID:
- Tries undocumented API endpoints first for direct retrieval
- Falls back to search API aggregation when direct access unavailable
- Provides title parameter to improve search accuracy

## Features

This MCP server provides access to all current Capacities API endpoints:

- **List Spaces** - Get all your personal spaces
- **Space Information** - Retrieve detailed space structures and collections
- **Search Content** - Search across spaces with advanced filtering
- **Read Object Content** - Retrieve full note content by object ID
- **Save Weblinks** - Save URLs to your spaces with metadata
- **Daily Notes** - Add content to your daily notes

## Installation

### For Claude Desktop (macOS)

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "capacities": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "capacities-mcp-plus"],
      "env": {
        "CAPACITIES_API_KEY": "your_capacities_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### For Claude Desktop (Windows)

Windows requires a cmd wrapper. Add to `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "capacities": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "capacities-mcp-plus"],
      "env": {
        "CAPACITIES_API_KEY": "your_capacities_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Get your Capacities API key from your [Capacities account settings](https://capacities.io/).

That's it! The server will be automatically downloaded and run when Claude Desktop starts.

## Development

### Local Setup

For local development, you'll need to clone and build the project:

1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Im-Hal-9K/capacities-mcp.git
cd capacities-mcp
```

2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
# or
bun install
```

3. Copy the example environment file:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

4. Add your Capacities API key to `.env`:
```
CAPACITIES_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

5. Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```

### Running the Server

Start the development server with interactive mode:
```bash
bun run dev
```

For production use:
```bash
npm run start
```

To inspect the server tools and schema:
```bash
bun run inspect
```

### Testing

Run the test suite:
```bash
bun run test
```

### Code Quality

Check linting and types:
```bash
bun run lint
```

Format code:
```bash
bun run format
```

## API Reference

Get your Capacities API key from your [Capacities account settings](https://capacities.io/).

For detailed API documentation, see:
- [Capacities API Docs](https://api.capacities.io/docs/)
- [OpenAPI Schema](https://api.capacities.io/openapi.json)

## Available Tools

### `capacities_list_spaces`
Get a list of all your personal spaces.

### `capacities_get_space_info`
Get detailed information about a specific space, including structures and collections.
- **spaceId**: UUID of the space

### `capacities_search`
Search for content across your spaces with optional filtering.
- **searchTerm**: Text to search for
- **spaceIds**: Array of space UUIDs to search in
- **mode** (optional): "fullText" or "title" search mode
- **filterStructureIds** (optional): Filter by specific structure types

### `capacities_read_object_content`
Retrieve the full content of a Capacities object by its ID.
- **objectId**: UUID of the object to retrieve (can be obtained from 'Copy object reference' in Capacities)
- **spaceId**: UUID of the space containing the object
- **title** (optional): The title or partial title of the object - strongly recommended to improve search results
- **How it works**:
  1. First attempts to use undocumented GET endpoints for direct object retrieval
  2. Falls back to search API, aggregating content from highlights and snippets
  3. Filters search results by object ID to find exact match
- **Note**: When using search fallback, content may be incomplete as it's assembled from search snippets. Providing the title parameter significantly improves results.

### `capacities_save_weblink`
Save a web link to a space with optional metadata.
- **spaceId**: UUID of the target space
- **url**: The URL to save
- **titleOverwrite** (optional): Custom title for the link
- **descriptionOverwrite** (optional): Description text
- **tags** (optional): Array of tags. Tags need to exactly match your tag names in Capacities, otherwise they will be created.
- **mdText** (optional): Text formatted as markdown that will be added to the notes section

### `capacities_save_to_daily_note`
Add markdown content to today's daily note in a space.
- **spaceId**: UUID of the target space
- **mdText**: Markdown content to add
- **origin** (optional): Origin label for the content (only "commandPalette" is supported)
- **noTimestamp** (optional): If true, no timestamp will be added to the note

## Rate Limits

The Capacities API has the following rate limits:
- `/spaces`: 5 requests per 60 seconds
- `/space-info`: 5 requests per 60 seconds
- `/search`: 120 requests per 60 seconds
- `/save-weblink`: 10 requests per 60 seconds
- `/save-to-daily-note`: 5 requests per 60 seconds

## Example Prompts

"What structures and collections are in my [space name] space?"
```

### Searching Content
```
"Search for 'project management' across all my Capacities spaces"
"Find all notes mentioning 'machine learning' in my research space"
"Search for 'meeting notes' but only check titles, not full content"
```

### Reading Content
```
"Read the content of object [object-id] from my research space"
"Get the full note content for [title] in my workspace"
```

### Saving Information
```
"Save this article to my research space: https://example.com/article"
"Bookmark this GitHub repo in my coding space with tags 'javascript' and 'tools'"
"Save this link with a custom title and description to my resources space"
