# NotesBridge

> A local MCP server for Apple Notes. Let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Shortcuts search, read, create and append to your notes — fast, on your Mac, set up in one click. One-time purchase. Native macOS app (14+), one-time purchase $15, 7-day free trial. All processing is local.

AI assistants can control NotesBridge through a local MCP server (stdio), Apple Shortcuts / App Intents, or a CLI.

## Connect
- MCP command: `/Applications/NotesBridge.app/Contents/MacOS/notesbridge mcp`
- In the app: Settings → AI → Connect (Claude Desktop, Cursor) or Copy Command (Claude Code)

## Tools
- `search_notes`: Full-text search across all Apple Notes (title and body; case- and accent-insensitive; every word must appear). Returns matching notes with ids and a snippet. Read-only.
- `get_note`: Read the full text of one note by id (e.g. "n123") or exact title. Read-only.
- `list_notes`: List notes, newest edits first, optionally in one folder and/or edited since a date ("7d", "today"). Read-only.
- `list_folders`: List note folders with how many notes each has. Read-only.
- `create_note`: Create a new Apple Note (plain text; line breaks kept). Goes to the default Notes account; the folder is created if it doesn't exist. Never changes other notes.
- `append_to_note`: Add text to the end of an existing note (by id like "n123" or exact title). Existing content is kept.
