Neuro Stack MCP Server

Not a note-taking app. A memory layer for the notes you already have. Your AI assistant forgets everything when the conversation ends. You ask it about the paper you summarised last week - it has no idea. You ask it to continue the chapter outline you built together - it starts from scratch.

People connecting productivity tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "raphasouthall-neurostack": {
      "url": "https://mcp.neurostack.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
