## 🚀 Installation

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- [Joplin Desktop](https://joplinapp.org/) with Web Clipper Service enabled
- [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (Python package manager)

```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/dweigend/joplin-mcp.git
cd joplin-mcp

# Create and activate virtual environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
```bash
uv pip install -e .
```

## ⚙️ Configuration

### Joplin API Token

1. Open Joplin Desktop
2. Go to Tools -> Options -> Web Clipper
3. Enable the Web Clipper Service
4. Copy the API Token

Create a `.env` file in the project directory:
```bash
JOPLIN_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
```

### Claude Desktop Setup

1. **Install Claude Desktop**
   - Download [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download)
   - Ensure you have the latest version (Menu: Claude -> Check for Updates...)

2. **Configure MCP Server**
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "joplin": {
         "command": "/PATH/TO/UV/uv",
         "args": [
           "--directory",
           "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PROJECT/joplin_mcp",
           "run",
           "src/mcp/joplin_mcp.py"
         ]
       }
     }
   }
   ```
   - Replace `/PATH/TO/UV/uv` with the absolute path to your uv installation
     - Find the path with: `which uv`
     - Example macOS: `/Users/username/.local/bin/uv`
     - Example Windows: `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\uv.exe`
   - Replace `/PATH/TO/YOUR/PROJECT/joplin_mcp` with the absolute path to your project

   **Important**: Claude Desktop needs the full path to `uv` as it cannot access shell environment variables.
