I’ve created a super lightweight MCP for working with .ipynb files that doesn’t need Jupyter kernel, lab, or collaboration. It’s a fastmcp stdio server that makes notebook editing a breeze!
Check it out GitHub - UsamaK98/python-notebook-mcp: Lightweight Python Notebook MCP - Enable AI assistants to create, edit, and view Jupyter notebooks via Model Context Protocol
Looking for feedback to make it even better. It’s a great workaround for notebook files - give it a spin! Dont forget to start if you like it.

I tried to run it with mcp-cli directly, btw your instructions are very unclear there, I had to go to that library:
