Inkra MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Inkra, a Markdown editor for Mac. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI to open files, change text, jump around headings, and save, all inside the document you already have open. It is handy if you write notes, docs, or long Markdown files on a Mac and want your AI to do the fiddly edits for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something in plain words, like finding a heading or adding a line. The AI sends that request to this helper, which passes it to the Inkra app on your Mac. Inkra then does the work on the document you have open, like editing text, adding a bookmark, or switching the view. The result comes back to your AI, which tells you what it did. Because Inkra owns the document, your edits show up right away and the normal undo still works.

What you can do with it

• Open a Markdown file from a folder on your Mac
• Read or replace the text in the open document
• Search inside the document for words or headings
• List the headings in the outline and add bookmarks
• Browse the files in a folder
• Read the YAML front matter at the top of a file
• Switch the theme or turn on focus mode

Try asking your AI

• “Open ~/Notes/2026-thesis.md and show me the outline.”
• “Find every heading that contains TODO and add a checkbox after it.”
• “List all files in the current folder.”
• “Bookmark the H2 Methodology and switch to focus mode.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, like a list of headings, the matching lines from a search, or the files in a folder. When the AI changes the document, it tells you what it changed, and you see the edit appear in the Inkra window. It can also read the front matter and report it back as plain text.
