Reflect MCP Server

An unofficial MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to interact with Reflect from Claude Desktop.

Note: This is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Reflect.

🚀 Features

• ✅ Add content to daily notes (today, tomorrow, or any date)
• 📝 Create new notes
• 🔗 Save links
• 🔔 Schedule reminders for future dates
• 📋 Organize content in specific lists

📦 Version

• Current release: 0.5.0 — see CHANGELOG.md for details.

📋 Prerequisites

1. Reflect account with API access
2. Node.js version 18 or higher
3. Claude Desktop installed

🛠️ Installation

1. Clone or download this project

# If you have git
git clone https://github.com/moisescabello/moi-reflect-mcp
cd moi-reflect-mcp

# Or simply copy the files to a folder

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Configure credentials

Get your Reflect token:

1. Go to https://reflect.app/developer/oauth
2. Create new OAuth credentials
3. Generate an Access Token (it's like an API key)

Get your Graph ID:

After creating your token, run this helper script included in the project:

npm run setup

This will show you all your graphs and their IDs. Copy the ID of the graph you want to use.

Alternatively, you can use curl:

curl 'https://reflect.app/api/graphs' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE'

Create .env file:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env and add your credentials:

REFLECT_TOKEN=your_actual_token_here
GRAPH_ID=your_actual_graph_id_here
# Optional: override the timezone used for daily note helpers (IANA format)
# REFLECT_TIMEZONE=Europe/Madrid

4. Configure Claude Desktop

Find the Claude Desktop configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add this configuration (adjust the path):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reflect": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/reflect-mcp/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "REFLECT_TOKEN": "your_token_here",
        "GRAPH_ID": "your_graph_id_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: You can put credentials directly in claude_desktop_config.json (as above) or let them be read from the .env file (don't put the env in the JSON).

5. Restart Claude Desktop

Completely close Claude Desktop and reopen it.

🎯 Usage

Once configured, you can use commands like these in Claude:

Usage examples:

"Add to my today's note: Review the sales report"

"Create a reminder for Friday: Team meeting at 10am"

"Save this link: https://example.com with the title 'Interesting article'"

"Create a new note called 'Project ideas' with the content..."

"Show me all my saved links"

"Add to tomorrow's note in the [[Tasks]] list: Prepare presentation"

📝 Important Limitations

Due to end-to-end encryption in Reflect:

• Cannot read existing note content
• Cannot modify existing content
• Can only:
  • Create new notes
  • Append content to daily notes
  • Add links and reminders
• Backlinks are created with [[Name]]
• Dates must be in YYYY-MM-DD format
• Daily-note tools use your system timezone (or REFLECT_TIMEZONE when set). Configure the variable if the server runs in another region.
