The paid product, built over two weeks with Next.js, Drizzle, Neon, and ts-fsrs, aims to eliminate the tedium of manual flashcard creation.", "body_md": "I have been bouncing off flashcards because making them by hand has been always a tedious task. Recall runs as an MCP server - you can connect it to Claude or Chatgpt, point your handwritten or typed notes (PDFs, docs, or even a Notion Page), and it writes Q&A cards straight into a deck. You could even ask Claude or Chatgpt to research on a topic and do the same without having the need to make notes. Then you review them with the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm.\n\nBuilt it solo over the last 2 weeks. Stack used: Next.js, Drizzle + Neon, ts-fsrs for scheduling\n\nIt's a paid product - no card limit tricks, you can see check out the demo before paying\n\nA short demo: [https://youtu.be/zPDFX9490Jo](https://youtu.be/zPDFX9490Jo)\n\nHappy to show the MCP setup works alongside the card generation! Feedbacks are super welcome, and would love to bring in tiny features!\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49005340](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49005340)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-recall-an-mcp-server-that-turns-your-notes-into-flashcards", "canonical_source": "https://recallapp.online/", "published_at": "2026-07-22 11:59:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-22 12:22:20.706977+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Recall", "Claude", "ChatGPT", "Next.js", "Drizzle", "Neon", "FSRS"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-recall-an-mcp-server-that-turns-your-notes-into-flashcards", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-recall-an-mcp-server-that-turns-your-notes-into-flashcards.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-recall-an-mcp-server-that-turns-your-notes-into-flashcards.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-recall-an-mcp-server-that-turns-your-notes-into-flashcards.jsonld"}}
