logseq://guide
- Initial instructions on how to interact with this knowledge base
get_personal_notes_instructions()
- Get instructions on how to use the personal notes toolget_personal_notes(topics, from_date, to_date)
- Retrieve personal notes from Logseq that are tagged with the specified topicsget_todo_list(done, from_date, to_date)
- Retrieve the todo list from Logseq
The following environment variables can be configured:
LOGSEQ_API_KEY
: API key for authenticating with Logseq (default: "this-is-my-logseq-mcp-token")LOGSEQ_URL
: URL where the Logseq HTTP API is running (default: "http://localhost:12315")
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Logseq's HTTP API is an interface that runs within your desktop Logseq application. When enabled, it starts a local HTTP server (default port 12315) that allows programmatic access to your Logseq knowledge base. The API supports querying pages and blocks, searching content, and potentially modifying content through authenticated requests.
To enable the Logseq HTTP API server:
- Open Logseq and go to Settings (upper right corner)
- Navigate to Advanced
- Enable "Developer mode"
- Enable "HTTP API Server"
- Set your API token (this should match the
LOGSEQ_API_KEY
value in the MCP server configuration)
For more detailed instructions, see:
Create a page named "MCP PKM Logseq" in your Logseq graph to serve as the guide for AI assistants. Add the following content:
- Description of your tagging system (e.g., which tags represent projects, areas, resources)
- List of frequently used tags and what topics they cover
- Common workflows you use to organize information
- Naming conventions for pages and blocks
- Instructions on how you prefer information to be retrieved
- Examples of useful topic combinations for searching
- Any context about your personal knowledge management approach
This page will be displayed whenever the AI thinks it needs to understand the user.
To prepare the package for distribution:
- Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync
- Build package distributions:
uv build
This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/
directory.
- Publish to PyPI:
uv publish
Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
- Token:
--token
orUV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
- Or username/password:
--username
/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME
and--password
/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD
Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.
You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm
with this command:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/ronie/MCP/mcp-pkm-logseq run mcp-pkm-logseq
Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
