Notanda (Beta)

# Install the MCP server Notanda (Beta) (`io.github.RudiRegenwurm/notanda`)

Its page: https://plug.directory/servers/io.github.RudiRegenwurm/notanda

It runs on the person's machine and needs uv installed.

Ask the person for `YOUR_HARVESTER_OPENALEX_API_KEY`, `YOUR_EVIDENCE_DIR` and put it in place of the placeholder; never invent a value.

Use the section for the person's client.
