Run Flatnotes in Even

Even Stacks launches Flatnotes as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Flatnotes in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8314, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://flatnotes.localhost.

Drive Flatnotes with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Flatnotes directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can open its interface in Even's browser, fill in forms, and operate it for you. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Flatnotes and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Create, edit, and search Markdown notes via the web UI at http://localhost:8314. Notes are stored as plain `.md` files in `/data`. Use the REST API at `/api/` with token auth for programmatic CRUD operations on notes.
