About sirmews/apple-notes-mcp

An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that reads from the local Apple Notes database on macOS and provides the content to Claude Desktop. Claude can then search, retrieve, and access your notes, making forgotten information available during conversations. The server offers three tools: get-all-notes (list all notes), read-note (get full content of a specific note), and search-notes (search through notes). It requires Full Disk Access permission on macOS and is installed via uv or uvx. The repository is currently archived and no longer actively maintained. Known limitations include no support for encrypted notes, pinned notes, cloud sync status, attachments, checklists, or the ability to create or edit notes.
