As a local MCP server: PyPI package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "S3_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR_S3_ACCESS_KEY>" --env "S3_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_S3_SECRET_KEY>" --env "VAULT_TOKEN=<YOUR_VAULT_TOKEN>" --transport stdio notes-vault-mcp -- uvx notes-vault-mcp[mcp_servers.notes-vault-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["notes-vault-mcp"]
[mcp_servers.notes-vault-mcp.env]
S3_ACCESS_KEY = "<YOUR_S3_ACCESS_KEY>"
S3_SECRET_KEY = "<YOUR_S3_SECRET_KEY>"
VAULT_TOKEN = "<YOUR_VAULT_TOKEN>"{
"mcpServers": {
"notes-vault-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"notes-vault-mcp"
],
"env": {
"S3_ACCESS_KEY": "<YOUR_S3_ACCESS_KEY>",
"S3_SECRET_KEY": "<YOUR_S3_SECRET_KEY>",
"VAULT_TOKEN": "<YOUR_VAULT_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: S3_BUCKET, S3_ENDPOINT, S3_PREFIX, S3_REGION, VAULT_CACHE_DIR, VAULT_PATH, VAULT_SCHEMA, VAULT_STOP_HOOK.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
