What it does

Hjarni is an AI-native note-taking app. Write notes in Markdown, organize them in folders with custom AI instructions per folder, and let Claude or ChatGPT search, read, create, and organize your notes via MCP.

Your notes serve two readers: you and your AI. Hjarni stores the knowledge. ChatGPT and Claude are the interfaces.

Connect

Hjarni is a hosted remote MCP server with OAuth authentication. No API keys, no Docker, no local setup. Setup takes under 2 minutes.

1. Open Settings > Integrations
2. Tap Add custom connector
3. Set the name to hjarni and the URL to https://hjarni.com/mcp
4. Tap Add and log in to Hjarni when redirected

Requires Claude Pro or Team plan for MCP integrations.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json or .claude.json):

    "hjarni": {

Claude finds the right container, creates the note with Markdown formatting, adds tags, and links it to related notes.
