+## Components
+
+### Resources
+
+The server implements a simple note storage system with:
+- Custom note:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes
+- Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype
+
+### Prompts
+
+The server provides a single prompt:
+- summarize-notes: Creates summaries of all stored notes
+  - Optional "style" argument to control detail level (brief/detailed)
+  - Generates prompt combining all current notes with style preference
+
+### Tools
+
+The server implements one tool:
+- add-note: Adds a new note to the server
+  - Takes "name" and "content" as required string arguments
+  - Updates server state and notifies clients of resource changes
+
+## Install
+
+### Claude Desktop
