Connect Dexi to your AI assistant
MCP server · https://mcp.dexi.net/mcp
Dexi has a built-in MCP server — MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to work with your tools. Connect it once and Claude, ChatGPT, Goose, Cursor, or any other MCP client can search and manage your notes for you: everything you've saved in Dexi, including bookmarks, emailed notes, and feed articles.
Pick your client
Step-by-step setup guides:
Using something else? Any client that supports MCP over streamable HTTP with OAuth can connect with the URL https://mcp.dexi.net/mcp — no manual API keys needed. The client registers itself and walks you through the same sign-in and approval flow.
What your assistant can do
Once connected, your assistant can — always inside your account, never anyone else's:
- Find things — search your notes by keyword, or by meaning (“that article about founder burnout” works even if those exact words never appear).
- Read and relate — pull up a note in full, list your tags and folders, and surface the notes most similar to one you're looking at.
- Write — create new notes, append thoughts to existing ones, or rewrite them. Hashtags and @mentions in the text become tags automatically.
- Quiz you — run your spaced-repetition review deck in conversation, grading each card as you recall it.
- Tidy up — delete notes you ask it to remove.
Building an integration yourself? The developer documentation has the complete tool reference — parameters, return shapes, and the OAuth details MCP client builders need.
Approving a connection
The approval page shows the app's name, where you'll be sent back to, and exactly what access it gets: search and read your notes, and create, edit, and delete notes. It also lets you choose what the app can touch — everything, a single folder, a single tag, or a tag within a folder. A restricted app sees only notes inside that boundary, and anything it creates is filed there too. Approving never shares your password — the app receives its own revocable credentials, only for your notes.
You can change an app's boundary any time in Settings → Connected apps → Edit access — changes apply on the app's very next request, no reconnection needed.
Disconnecting
In the Dexi app, open Settings → Connected apps to see everything connected to your account, when it was last used, and a Disconnect button. Disconnecting signs the app out immediately; it can only come back by asking for your approval again.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Dexi MCP server URL?
https://mcp.dexi.net/mcp — a remote MCP server over streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in. There are no API keys to copy; every client authenticates through the same Dexi approval page.
Which AI apps work with Dexi?
Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code), ChatGPT (developer mode), Goose, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, and any other MCP client that supports streamable HTTP with OAuth.
Is connecting an AI assistant to Dexi safe?
Approving a connection never shares your password. Each app receives its own revocable credentials scoped to your notes only, and the approval page shows exactly what access it gets. You can disconnect any app instantly from Settings → Connected apps in Dexi.
Can I limit what an AI assistant can see?
Yes — per connection. When you approve an app you can restrict it to a single folder, a single tag, or a tag within a folder; it then sees only notes inside that boundary, and notes it creates are filed there automatically. You can change or remove the restriction any time in Settings → Connected apps, and changes apply on the app’s next request.
Is the MCP server included in the free plan?
Yes. The MCP server is part of every Dexi plan, including Free — connect as many assistants as you like.
