CognifAI helps you capture, organize, and connect ideas across domains. The CognifAI MCP server exposes your knowledge base directly to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol, enabling natural-language interaction with your data.

Available tools:

  • list_realms — Browse all realms (workspaces) you have access to
  • get_realm_ideas — List all ideas within a realm
  • get_idea — Fetch the full content of a specific idea
  • search_ideas — Full-text search across one or all realms
  • create_idea — Add new ideas directly from your AI assistant
  • update_idea — Edit titles, content, and tags on existing ideas

Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (remote HTTP server)

Access: Requires a paid CognifAI plan (Pro or Pro+)

Server URL: https://cognifai.app/api/mcp
