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

Dessix currently provides 12 MCP capabilities:

• dessix_list_workspaces: List your accessible workspaces.
• dessix_get_current_workspace: Get the currently opened workspace.
• dessix_create_workspace: Create a new workspace.
• dessix_update_workspace: Update a workspace's title, description, language, etc.
• dessix_search_blocks: Search content by keyword or meaning, with optional type filters.
• dessix_read_block: Read the details of a specific item.
• dessix_create_block: Create a new item (Note, Action, or Scene).
• dessix_update_block: Edit an existing item's title, body, description, etc.
• dessix_delete_block: Delete an item (moves to trash, recoverable anytime).
• dessix_restore_block: Restore a deleted item from trash.
• dessix_get_topic_context: Retrieve the full context of a topic for continuing the discussion in another client.
• dessix_get_skill: Read the prompt from a preset Action/Scene, ready for AI to use directly.

Note: The current version focuses on content management. More advanced capabilities will be added in future releases.

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": {}
    }
  }
}

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"	Retrieves full topic context and continues
Use my "Weekly Report" action to write this week's report	Reads your preset action prompt and runs it

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.
