About
MCP server for Cosense (formerly Scrapbox) that enables page creation, editing, deletion, and searching with WebSocket-based operations. Extends the original server with page-deletion and line-editing tools.
README
Overview
MCP server for Cosense (formerly Scrapbox). Fork of worldnine/scrapbox-cosense-mcp that adds page-deletion and line-editing tools (delete_page, edit_lines).
| Tool | Description | Auth Required |
|---|---|---|
get_page |
Get page content, metadata, and links | For private projects |
list_pages |
Browse pages with sorting and pagination (max 1000) | For private projects |
search_pages |
Full-text search with keyword highlighting (max 100 results) | For private projects |
create_page |
Create a page via WebSocket API with Markdown/Scrapbox body | Yes |
get_page_url |
Generate direct URL for a page | No |
insert_lines |
Insert text after a specified line in a page | Yes |
edit_lines |
Replace an exact-match line (one or all occurrences) with new content | Yes |
delete_page |
Delete a page by emptying every line via WebSocket patch | Yes |
get_smart_context |
Get a page and its linked pages (1-hop/2-hop) in AI-optimized format | Yes |
create_page, insert_lines, and edit_lines support a format parameter ("markdown" or "scrapbox") to control content conversion.
Note on
delete_page: Cosense automatically removes a page once all of its lines are empty. This tool sends a WebSocket patch that returns an empty line array — there is no "undo".
