 This repo ships a `.mcp.json` at its root so that, when you run `claude` from inside a clone, the server is registered automatically as a **project-scope** server — no manual config needed. Just launch Claude Code from the repo directory and approve the server when prompted (the bundled `build/index.js` is committed, so no build step is required).

+In a JSON string literal the two characters `\\` denote **one** literal backslash. Doubling them to `\\\\` denotes *two* backslashes in the note, which is almost never what you want.
 
-The `\\\\` in JSON becomes `\\` in the actual string, which represents a single `\` in the note.

 **Common patterns requiring escaping:**
-- Shell escaped spaces: `Mobile\ Documents` → `Mobile\\\\ Documents` in JSON
-- Windows paths: `C:\Users\` → `C:\\\\Users\\\\` in JSON
-- Regex patterns: `\d+` → `\\\\d+` in JSON

 **If you see errors** when creating/updating notes with backslashes, double-check that backslashes are properly escaped in the JSON payload.
