Common questions

Is MCP Apple Notes safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 14 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Apple Notes MCP Server

Powerful tools for automating Apple Notes using Model Context Protocol (MCP)

mcp-name: io.github.henilcalagiya/mcp-apple-notes

Overview

Apple Notes MCP Server provides seamless integration of Apple Notes with any MCP-compatible client. It enables full note automation — including creating, reading, updating, and deleting notes — through a simple and secure AppleScript API layer.

Features

Full CRUD support for Apple Notes (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
Works with Continue.dev, Claude Desktop, Perplexity, and other MCP clients
Native AppleScript integration for reliable macOS automation
Comprehensive tools for Apple Notes automation
Automatic installation via uvx or manual setup
FastMCP implementation with modern decorator-based API

Requirements

macOS - Required for AppleScript support
Python 3.10+ - Required for MCP SDK compatibility
Apple Notes application - Must be installed and accessible
MCP-compatible client (e.g., Continue.dev, Claude Desktop)

Quick Start

Step 1: Install uv (if not already installed)

macOS/Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Alternative (pip):

pip install uv

Step 2: Add MCP Configuration

Add this configuration to your MCP client:

For Perplexity, Cursor, Continue.dev, Claude Desktop:

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

🎉 That's it! Your MCP client will automatically install and run the package when needed.

Note: Ensure your MCP client has permission to access Apple Notes and execute AppleScript commands in System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility.
