Connect

Execution memory for your AI agents

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or any MCP client and your agent can resume where you left off, capture decisions as it works, and keep each pad's rituals current.

MCP endpoint

https://next.nodepad.tools/mcp

Add it as a custom connector. Sign-in happens through OAuth in your browser; read-only connections are supported.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http nodepad https://next.nodepad.tools/mcp

Codex

In ~/.codex/config.toml, with the RMCP OAuth client and Nodepad's exact resource:

experimental_use_rmcp_client = true
[mcp_servers.nodepad]
url = "https://next.nodepad.tools/mcp"
oauth_resource = "https://next.nodepad.tools/mcp"

Restart Codex, run codex -c experimental_use_rmcp_client=true mcp login nodepad, check the browser URL contains resource=, then start a fresh session.

The np CLI

Create a token under Sign-in & API tokens, then point the CLI here:

export NODEPAD_API_URL=https://next.nodepad.tools
export NODEPAD_TOKEN=np_…
np resume

What your agent can do

  • nodepad_workspace — Nodepad Workspace
  • nodepad_node — Nodepad Node
  • nodepad_capture — Nodepad Capture
  • nodepad_project — Nodepad Project
  • nodepad_binding — Nodepad Binding
  • nodepad_history — Nodepad History
  • nodepad_runbook — Nodepad Runbook

Why it's safe

  • OAuth with PKCE; tokens are bound to this server and work nowhere else.
  • Removal and unbinding need explicit confirmation.
  • The mcp_read scope gives an agent read-only access.
