`solomd-mcp` in Cline (VS Code)

Cline reads MCP server config from its cline_mcp_settings.json file. Access via:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
Linux: ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json

Or just open Cline's MCP Servers tab and click "Edit settings".

Install the server

# macOS
cargo install solomd-mcp

# Linux x64
curl -L https://github.com/zhitongblog/solomd/releases/latest/download/solomd-mcp-linux-x64.tar.gz \
  | tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin

# Linux arm64
curl -L https://github.com/zhitongblog/solomd/releases/latest/download/solomd-mcp-linux-arm64.tar.gz \
  | tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin

# Windows — unzip and put on PATH.

Config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solomd": {
      "command": "solomd-mcp",
      "args": ["--workspace", "/Users/you/notes"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": ["list_notes", "read_note", "search", "get_outline", "get_backlinks", "list_tags"]
    }
  }
}

autoApprove lets you skip the "Approve tool call?" prompt for read tools while keeping the write tools manual. Recommended.

Restart Cline. The MCP Servers tab should show solomd with a green dot and 13 tools listed.

Try it

Search my notes for "decision" and group by month. For each group, show the commit author and date of the most recent edit using the autogit_log tool.

Allow writes

Add --allow-write to args. Add "write_note" and "append_to_note" to autoApprove only if you really want Cline writing without per-call confirmation (recommend leaving them manual).
