# Connect Claude to LotsNotes Canonical page: https://lotsnotes.com/agents/claude Steps checked: 2026-10-13 Ask Claude to read your business context in LotsNotes before it works, and keep it current. Add LotsNotes to Claude as a remote MCP server and sign in once. MCP server URL: https://api.lotsnotes.com/mcp REST API docs: https://api.lotsnotes.com/docs Setup instructions for your agent: https://lotsnotes.com/skill.md ## What you can do once connected - List your workspaces and folders, find notes by title and read only the notes the task needs. Workspace notes come back with every folder, so a workspace AGENTS.md reaches every agent. - Create and update shared notes, move notes and folders, and create folders inside folders. Every note it returns carries its lotsnotes.com link. - Read a note’s version history, restore an earlier version, and archive or restore notes and folders. - Act as you, with your role: it sees only the folders you can access, and private notes are never returned to agents or the API. The LotsNotes dashboard does the whole job too: write and organize notes, folders, workspaces and your team. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control. ## You need - Any Claude plan: Free, Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise - On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it once under Organization settings, then Connectors (Add, then Custom, then Web), and each member connects it from Customize, then Connectors - A LotsNotes account. You can create one during sign-in. ## Connect Claude to LotsNotes 1. **Open Connectors.** In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors. Select + Add and choose Add custom connector. 2. **Add LotsNotes.** Name it LotsNotes, paste the server URL and select Continue. Keep the sign-in settings Claude detects, select Continue again, then select Add. ``` https://api.lotsnotes.com/mcp ``` 3. **Sign in to LotsNotes.** A LotsNotes sign-in opens in your browser. Sign in with your email. New users can create an account during this step. ## What to ask next - “Read our AGENTS.md and the Marketing folder before you write anything” - “Save this decision to the Product folder and send me the link” - “Update the pricing FAQ note with today’s change” ## Questions and troubleshooting ### How do I connect Claude to LotsNotes? Follow the Claude setup above to add https://api.lotsnotes.com/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my LotsNotes workspaces”. ### Is LotsNotes in Claude’s connector directory? Add LotsNotes as a custom connector: in Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, select + Add and choose Add custom connector. Paste the MCP URL and sign in to your LotsNotes account. ### Do I need an API key to use LotsNotes with Claude? No. Claude signs in to LotsNotes in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps. ### What does LotsNotes cost? Current plans and prices are on https://lotsnotes.com/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate. ### Can my agent read my private notes? No. Private notes stay on lotsnotes.com and are never returned through MCP or the API. Shared notes follow your workspace roles. ### Can my agent change or delete my notes? Your agent can edit shared notes in the folders your role can edit, and it can trash or archive notes, delete a folder or, for a workspace you own, archive it. Notes and folders can be restored, a workspace you archive can be restored for 30 days, and every save keeps a version you can restore. ### What stops two agents overwriting each other? An agent can send the version it last read with a save. If the note changed since, the save is refused, and the agent reads it again and merges. Version history keeps every save either way. ### Which folders can my agent see? Your agent acts as you, with your role, so it sees only the workspaces and folders you can access. If you were given access to selected folders only, your agent sees those folders and no others. ### LotsNotes tools do not appear in a chat Select the + button at the lower left of the chat, open Connectors and switch LotsNotes on for that conversation. ### New tools are missing after an update Disconnect and reconnect the connector so Claude reloads the tool list. ## Sources - [Claude: custom connectors](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-getting-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp)
