Owl MCP server
Basic info
What is Owl?
Owl is a spaced repetition application which helps people retain more information and generate more ideas. You can find out more and sign up at owl.cards.
What is Model Context Protocol?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that allows you to provide custom tools to agentic LLMs (Large Language Models). Find out more at modelcontextprotocol.io.
What can I do with this MCP server?
By using this MCP server, you can integrate Owl with MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc. You can then have your language model act on your behalf, to do things like create decks and cards for you, etc. Here's an example:
