Apple Notes Model Context Protocol Server for Claude Desktop.

Read your local Apple Notes database and provide it to Claude Desktop.

Now Claude can search your most forgotten notes and know even more about you.

Noting could go wrong.

Components

Resources

The server implements the ability to read and write to your Apple Notes.

Tools

The server provides multiple prompts:

  • get-all-notes: Get all notes.
  • read-note: Get full content of a specific note.
  • search-notes: Search through notes.

Missing Features:

  • No handling of encrypted notes (ZISPASSWORDPROTECTED)
  • No support for pinned notes filtering
  • No handling of cloud sync status
  • Missing attachment content retrieval
  • No support for checklist status (ZHASCHECKLIST)
  • No ability to create or edit notes

Quickstart

Install the server

Recommend using uv to install the server locally for Claude.

uvx apple-notes-mcp

OR

uv pip install apple-notes-mcp

Add your config as described below.

Claude Desktop

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Note: You might need to use the direct path to uv. Use which uv to find the path.

Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration

"mcpServers": { "apple-notes-mcp": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "{project_dir}", "run", "apple-notes-mcp" ] } }

Published Servers Configuration

"mcpServers": { "apple-notes-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "apple-notes-mcp" ] } }

Mac OS Disk Permissions

You'll need to grant Full Disk Access to the server. This is because the Apple Notes sqlite database is nested deep in the MacOS file system.

I may look at an AppleScript solution in the future if this annoys me further or if I want to start adding/appending to Apple Notes.

Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

  1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync
  1. Build package distributions:
uv build

This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.

  1. Publish to PyPI:
uv publish

Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:

  • Token: --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
  • Or username/password: --username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory {project_dir} run apple-notes-mcp

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
