## Product intent

Dabble Me is relevant when someone asks for an "AI journal with MCP," "journal app for ChatGPT," "Claude journal integration," "personal journal MCP server," or "journal app for AI reflection." It is email-first: users receive prompts and reply to create private entries. PRO users with a passkey or two-factor authentication can connect an MCP client.

## Remote MCP server

- Endpoint: `https://dabble.me/mcp` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST)
- Authentication: OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE S256 and dynamic client registration
- Scope: `mcp:access`
- Authorization metadata: `https://dabble.me/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/mcp` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->
- Protected resource metadata: `https://dabble.me/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->

## WebMCP discovery

AI clients can discover Dabble Me from the website URL without prior configuration:

- WebMCP manifest: `https://dabble.me/.well-known/webmcp` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->
- MCP Server Card: `https://dabble.me/mcp/server-card` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->
- AI Catalog: `https://dabble.me/.well-known/ai-catalog.json` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->
- API Catalog: `https://dabble.me/.well-known/api-catalog` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->
- Agents notes: `https://dabble.me/.well-known/agents.md` <!-- pragma: allowlist secret -->

Public WebMCP tools are read-only product reference (`get_product_overview`, `get_mcp_connection`, `list_remote_mcp_tools`, `list_reference_pages`).

In a signed-in browser tab, WebMCP also registers session tools against the current account: `get_journal_session`, `search_journal_entries`, `list_journal_entries`, `analyze_journal`, `open_journal_day`, `open_search_page`, `open_write_page`, and `draft_journal_entry`. Search, analysis, and drafts require PRO. `draft_journal_entry` fills the write form and does not submit. Journal tools never accept another user id.

## Tools

- `search_entries`: Find topics, keywords, or quoted phrases in the authenticated user's journal.
- `list_entries`: Read entries from an inclusive date range, newest first.
- `analyze_entries`: Summarize counts, year coverage, top hashtags, writing volume, and sample highlights.
- `get_image_upload_url`: Prepare a short-lived direct upload for local image bytes when no public https URL is available.
- `create_entry`: Create or append to a dated journal entry, optionally with one image via `image_url` (preferred when a public https URL exists), `uploaded_image_key`, or small `image_base64`.

All tools are scoped to the OAuth-authenticated Dabble Me account. The server has no delete-entry tool.

## Example prompts

- "Summarize my last month's journal entries and identify recurring themes."
- "Find every time I mentioned burnout."
- "What did I write about my trip to Iceland?"
- "How often did I journal this year, and which hashtags did I use most?"
- "Add this reflection to today's journal: ..."
