For users with personal, work, or sensitive notebooks alongside ones they want an agent to operate on, there is no way to limit the scope of access. A misconfigured prompt or unexpected tool call could read or modify notes the user never intended to expose.\n\n### Proposed solution\n\nA pattern-based allowlist that controls which notebooks the MCP server can access. The configuration would use gitigno\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/alondmnt/joplin-mcp/issues/13) · 2026-03-09 · closed · outside contributor · 10 comments\n\n### [codex] Joplin MCP exposes only server_info endpoint; no notes resource available\n\n## Steps to reproduce\n  1.
