Future Plans & Ideas

This document outlines potential future features for remarkable-mcp. These are ideas under consideration, not commitments.

Track progress: See open enhancement issues on GitHub.

Write Support (#24)

Write tools (upload, create folders, move, rename, delete) are now enabled by default — pass --read-only to disable them. Further ideas under consideration:

  • Create documents — Create new notebooks or upload PDFs
  • Sync from Obsidian — Push markdown notes to reMarkable as PDFs
  • Template support — Apply templates when creating notebooks
  • Folder management — Create, rename, move folders

Write support requires careful consideration of:

  • Sync conflicts with reMarkable's own sync
  • Data safety and backup
  • API stability

Additional OCR Providers (#25)

Google Vision works well, but more options would be valuable:

Provider Status Notes
Google Vision ✅ Implemented Excellent handwriting recognition
Tesseract ✅ Implemented Offline fallback, poor for handwriting
Microsoft Azure 🔮 Planned Competitive handwriting OCR
Mistral 🔮 Planned Open-weight models with vision
Claude Vision 🔮 Possible Direct integration with Claude
Local LLaVA 🔮 Possible Fully offline, privacy-focused

The goal is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — let users choose their preferred provider.

Enhanced Search (#26)

  • Full-text indexing — Index all documents for instant search
  • Semantic search — Find documents by meaning, not just keywords
  • Cross-document search — Search annotations across your entire library

Obsidian Integration

Deep integration with Obsidian vaults:

  • Bi-directional sync — Notes flow between reMarkable and Obsidian
  • Link resolution — reMarkable documents as Obsidian attachments
  • Daily notes — Sync reMarkable journals to Obsidian daily notes

Export Features (#27)

  • PDF export — Export notebooks as PDFs
  • Markdown export — Convert notebooks to markdown
  • Batch export — Export entire folders

Community Requests

Have an idea? Open an issue on GitHub with the enhancement label.

Popular requests we're tracking:

  1. Handwriting-to-text conversion — Beyond OCR, actual handwriting recognition
  2. Tag support — Organize documents with tags
  3. Favorites — Quick access to frequently-used documents
  4. Version history — Access previous versions of documents

Technical Improvements

Performance (#28)

  • Parallel resource registration — Faster startup for large libraries
  • Incremental sync — Only fetch changed documents
  • Persistent cache — Cache OCR results across sessions

Reliability (#29)

  • Automatic reconnection — Recover from dropped SSH connections
  • Retry logic — Handle transient API failures
  • Health checks — Proactive connection monitoring

Developer Experience

  • TypeScript types — Full type definitions for MCP clients
  • Example integrations — Sample code for common use cases
  • Plugin system — Extensible architecture for custom features

Contributing

Interested in implementing any of these features? We welcome contributions!

  1. Check existing issues for the feature
  2. Open a discussion if it's a major change
  3. Fork, implement, and submit a PR

See Development Guide for setup instructions.

Non-Goals

Some things we're explicitly not planning:

  • reMarkable firmware modifications — We work with the official software
  • Bypassing DRM — We respect content protection
  • Subscription circumvention — Cloud API requires Connect subscription
  • Real-time sync — We're a query tool, not a sync service
