Question 1

What is an MCP server?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT connect to external tools. With Context Raven's MCP server, your AI can read and write to your notes directly—no copy-pasting needed.

Question 2

Do I need to know markdown to use Context Raven?

Accepted Answer

No. Context Raven has a formatting toolbar just like Google Docs or Word. Bold, italic, headers, lists, links—all one click away. You get clean markdown output without needing to learn the syntax.

Question 3

How do I organize my notes in Context Raven?

Accepted Answer

Organize notes in folders with a dedicated Folder View. Search folders instantly and see all notes inside. No subfolders, keeping it simple. Pro users can enable AI-Enhanced Descriptions that auto-generate note and folder descriptions and tags.

Question 4

Can I use Context Raven offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Context Raven is a PWA (Progressive Web App). Install it on your device and your notes are cached locally with encryption. Edit offline and changes sync when you're back online.

Question 5

How is Context Raven different from Notion or Obsidian?

Accepted Answer

Context Raven is purpose-built for AI workflows. Unlike Notion, it's lightweight and markdown-first—no databases, no complex setup. Unlike Obsidian, it's fully online with cross-device sync and public sharing. Plus, you can save versions manually with diff view to see exactly what changed.

Question 6

Is my data secure and private in Context Raven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All note content is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Nobody can read your notes, not even system administrators or the founder. Your notes are decrypted only in your browser when you access them. If you enable the optional AI Context feature (Pro), it generates brief descriptions and tags stored in plaintext to help the MCP server search your vault. These descriptions are visible only to you via the MCP server.

Question 7

Can I export my notes from Context Raven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export your entire vault from Account Settings, or export a single folder from its context menu. You get a zip with markdown files, ready to use anywhere. Your notes belong to you.
