Inkling: A Self-Hosted Team Notes App With a Built-in MCP Server
RadiantTurnover24 · reddit · 2026-11-12
Inkling is a one-person self-hosted team notes app with a built-in MCP server. Each member connects their own client (Claude Code, claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code); agents read individual sections within a token budget and edit against the version they read. Stale writes return the current text instead of overwriting.
Recent releases added: handing a comment or database row to a specific person's agent via a per-connection inbox plus a Team agents board; injection-heuristic defense where an agent that reads flagged text can only suggest edits for an hour; connection tokens for non-OAuth apps and a 32-tool core profile (down from 48); versioned agent writes labelled with client and changed sections, with agent-only rollback options.
There's an online demo (limited to 150 accounts, Korea/US users only) and full local deployment via Docker Compose, MIT licensed. The author explicitly skips the single-user Markdown-folder use case—that's Obsidian's job; Inkling targets several people and several agents writing the same notes.
