MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Desktop only

MCP is only available in the Dessix desktop app. It is not supported in the web version.

MCP is a standard protocol that lets AI clients (like Cursor and Claude Code) safely access external tools and data.
With MCP enabled in Dessix, you can read and manage your workspace content directly from these AI clients, continue previous topic discussions, and use your preset actions.

What it supports

With MCP enabled, you can manage Dessix content directly from an AI client:

• View, create, and update workspaces.
• Search, read, create, edit, delete, and restore notes and other content.
• Create, rename, move, and delete folders.
• Move content into a folder, or see what a folder contains.
• Continue previous topic discussions, or use saved actions / scenes.

Quick setup

Make sure the Dessix desktop app is open and you're signed in, then configure your AI client with the steps below.

Recommendation

Copy the config directly from the Dessix desktop app — don't type paths manually.

1. Open Settings → Advanced → MCP Service
2. Click Copy Cursor config or Copy Claude command
3. Paste into your client and you're done

Cursor

Paste the copied config into the .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root.

Reference structure (always use the actual config copied from the app):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dessix": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<path generated by the app>"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

After configuring, open Settings → Tools & MCP in Cursor and make sure the dessix server is enabled (the toggle should be green).

Claude Code

Paste and run the copied command in your terminal, then type /mcp to confirm the connection.

Talk to AI like this

Once connected, just chat with AI in natural language via Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client. It will automatically use Dessix capabilities. Here are some examples:

What you say	What AI does
Show me my workspaces	Lists your workspaces
What topics have I discussed recently?	Searches and lists your topics
Find my notes about "product pricing"	Searches by keyword
Have I written anything about user retention?	Searches by meaning
Create a new note titled "Weekly meeting notes"	Creates a new note
Rename that note to "Q2 Plan"	Updates the note
Delete that test note	Moves it to trash (recoverable)
Restore the one I just deleted	Restores from trash
Let's continue the discussion about "growth strategy"	Finds the related discussion and continues
Use my "Weekly Report" action to write this week's report	Uses your preset action
Group these scattered notes by topic	Creates folders and files items into them
Move this note into the "Product Plan" folder	Moves the item into the specified folder
What's inside the "Test" folder?	Lists the folder's direct children

Tips

• First time? Say "show me my workspaces" to confirm the connection works.
• Deletion moves items to trash by default — just say "restore it" if you change your mind.
• Workspace getting cluttered? Say "group these notes into folders by topic" and AI will create folders and file things in for you.
