I take notes, and draft designs on a reMarkable tablet and wanted Claude to be able to reference them while I code.
So I built an Open Source MCP server that connects to the reMarkable Cloud API and gives AI assistants (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc) read-only access to your entire library.
What it does:
- Read notebooks, PDFs, and ebooks with full text extraction
- Full-text search across your library (SQLite FTS5 index)
- Render pages as PNG/SVG — useful for hand-drawn diagrams and wireframes
- Handwriting OCR using the client's own LLM via MCP sampling (no external API keys needed)
It installs dependencies, registers your tablet, and configures both Claude Code andClaude Desktop. The server runs via uvx and auto-updates on each launch.
Built with Python, runs on the MCP protocol so it works with any compatible client. Everything is read-only — it never writes to your tablet.
Would love feedback, especially from other reMarkable users who've been wanting better integration with their dev workflows.

Setup is super easy using the following command:
curl -fsSL https://thijsverreck.com/setup.sh | sh
