Introducing Aurora Notes

Posted by the Aurora Labs platform team

Today we're shipping the first version of Aurora Notes — a small, MCP-native notes and announcements service built for teams who spend as much time inside their AI assistant as their inbox.

Why we built this

Every team accumulates a pile of half-formal knowledge: the API key rotation schedule, who's on call this week, the one weird workaround for the staging environment. It's too small for a wiki page and too important to lose in a chat thread. We wanted something a teammate's assistant could read and write directly, without a browser tab in the way.

What it does

Aurora Notes exposes five tools over MCP:

• save_note — jot down a private note, keyed by title
• get_note — pull a specific note back up by title
• list_notes — see every title you've saved
• post_announcement — broadcast one message every teammate's assistant can read
• health / ready — liveness and readiness, so our own dashboard can tell the difference between "slow" and "down"

Try it

save_note({ title: "launch-day", body: "Aurora Notes went live today." })
list_notes({})
post_announcement({ text: "Aurora Notes v0.1 is live — ask your assistant to save something." })

It's already wired into the Aurora Assistant, so if you'd rather talk than type, just ask it to remember something for you.

What's next

Per-user OAuth scoping is next on the list, so notes stop being shared across every caller of the token and start belonging to the person who wrote them. After that: a proper search tool, since "list everything and skim" stops working somewhere around note thirty.
