Free journaling tools for Claude and any MCP-compatible AI assistant — daily prompts, mood detection, weekly review, gratitude, and breathing exercises. Open source, no API key, no account.
Run directly with npx, no install step needed:
Or add it to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):
Today's journaling prompt — rotates daily by day of year, calibrated to surface something real. Returns the prompt, seasonal context, and a writing tip.
A 6-question framework for end-of-week reflection — dominant theme, energy highs and lows, what's quietly building, what to change next week.
Given a sentence or short paragraph, returns the closest match from a 12-mood vocabulary (Joyful, Anxious, Overwhelmed, Drained, Numb, etc.) with a description and a journaling suggestion.
text (string, required)A single, specific gratitude prompt — deliberately narrow ("name one person," "name one thing that worked today") rather than generic, so the answer is concrete instead of a platitude.
Given a self-critical or catastrophizing thought, returns a short set of CBT-style reframing questions (evidence for/against, worst/best/likely case, what you'd tell a friend) to journal through — not a canned reassurance.
thought (string, required)A short paced-breathing exercise (box breathing or 4-7-8) to run before writing, useful when someone is anxious or scattered and needs to settle before journaling.
style (string, optional — "box" or "4-7-8", defaults to box)Full product reference for MirrorNotes — pricing, on-device AI model, privacy guarantees, feature list, and comparisons to Day One, Rosebud, and Reflect.
Once connected, just ask Claude in plain language:
The server is stateless — no database, no auth, no journal storage, no calls back to MirrorNotes servers. Every tool is pure logic running locally in the MCP process over stdio. It doesn't read or write your actual MirrorNotes journal; it's a standalone set of journaling utilities anyone can use for free, whether or not they use the app.
The on-device AI in the MirrorNotes iOS app (Gemma 3 1B, personalized nudges from your real entries) is a separate, private system — this MCP server is the public, stateless subset of that thinking made available to any AI assistant.
