What is Trilium Inbox?

Trilium Inbox is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI clients to programmatically create new notes directly into a specified parent note (like your Inbox) within Trilium Notes, leveraging Trilium's ETAPI.

How are notes secured and stored in Trilium?

All MCP requests require a Bearer token for authentication (`MCP_AUTH_TOKEN`). Input content is sanitized and stored as HTML within a single paragraph in Trilium, ensuring data integrity and security.

How does Trilium Inbox integrate with AI clients?

It exposes a `send_to_inbox` tool via the MCP, enabling AI clients to send structured data (title, content, and optional tags) that Trilium Inbox then converts into a new Trilium note.

What are the primary requirements to use Trilium Inbox?

You need a running Trilium (or TriliumNext) instance with ETAPI enabled and a token, the note ID of your desired parent folder (e.g., your Inbox), and Docker or Docker Compose for easy deployment.

Can I customize where new notes are saved?

Yes, new notes are saved to a configurable parent note ID within Trilium. You specify this 'Inbox' note ID using the `INBOX_NOTE_ID` environment variable during setup.
