hidden-memo 0.1.0

A hidden NoSQL MCP server for unstructured data.

Hidden Memo

Hidden Memo is a lightweight MCP server and CLI for storing unstructured JSON locally. It uses TinyDB to persist per-table JSON files and exposes MCP tools for CRUD-like operations.

Highlights

• Store data in tables (one JSON file per table)
• CLI for save/read/update/latest/list/delete
• MCP tools for programmatic access
• Local-first storage under your home directory

Requirements

• Python 3.11+

Data Location

Memos are stored under ~/.hidden_memo/ in your home directory, keyed by table name. Example: ~/.hidden_memo/ideas.json

MCP Tools

These tools are exposed via MCP:

• save_to_table(table, title, content)
• read_table_all(table)
• read_from_table(table, title)
• update_memo_content(table, title, new_content)
• get_latest_data(table)
• list_tables()
• get_all_tables_data()
• delete_memo(table, title)
• drop_table(table)
