JotDown: Give Your LLM a Memory and Publishing Pipeline

Stop copying and pasting between Claude and your documentation tools. JotDown is an MCP server that lets your LLM conversations flow directly into Notion pages and auto-generate structured mdBooks – no manual formatting, no broken workflows.

The Problem You Know Too Well

You're deep in a productive LLM conversation, generating solid content for documentation or knowledge sharing. Then reality hits: you need to manually copy everything to Notion, fix the formatting, create the page structure, and if you're building documentation, spend another 30 minutes setting up mdBook files with proper navigation.

Your productive flow just died.

What JotDown Actually Does

This MCP server gives Claude (or any MCP-compatible LLM) two powerful capabilities:

Direct Notion Integration: Your LLM creates and updates Notion pages in real-time during conversations. No copy-paste, no formatting fixes, no context switching.

Automated mdBook Generation: Ask your LLM to create documentation, and it generates a complete mdBook with proper chapter structure, navigation, and all the boilerplate you normally handle manually.

Real Workflow Wins

For Technical Documentation: Generate an entire API guide in one conversation. The LLM writes the content and simultaneously creates a properly structured mdBook with working navigation and cross-references.

For Knowledge Management: Build your team's knowledge base directly from LLM conversations. Every insight, solution, or process improvement goes straight into Notion with proper organization.

For Content Publishing: Create blog post drafts, technical articles, or tutorials that live in Notion immediately, ready for team review and publication workflows.

How It Fits Your Existing Setup

Add JotDown to your Claude Desktop configuration:

"mcpServers": {
  "Jotdown": {
    "command": "/path/to/jotdown/target/release/Jotdown",
    "env": {
      "NOTION_TOKEN": "your_notion_integration_token"
    }
  }
}

Set up a "Jot It Down" page in your Notion workspace, and you're done. Your LLM now has persistent storage and publishing capabilities.

Why Rust for This?

Built in Rust for the performance and reliability you need when your LLM is managing your documentation infrastructure. No memory leaks, no random crashes when you're in the middle of generating a complex book structure.

Getting Started

1. Clone and build: git clone https://github.com/Harry-027/JotDown && cd JotDown && cargo build --release
2. Set up Notion integration with your workspace
3. Install mdbook CLI: cargo install mdbook
4. Configure your MCP client with the binary path and Notion token
5. Start creating directly from your LLM conversations

Your next documentation project doesn't need to involve manual file creation, formatting fixes, or broken workflows. Let your LLM handle the content creation and structure generation while you focus on the strategic work.

The repository includes demos showing both Notion page creation and mdBook generation in action – you can see exactly how this transforms your content creation workflow.
