Common questions
Is Better Bear 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 (0.4.21) reached the registry 7 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

better bear
MCP server and CLI for Bear notes via CloudKit. Includes a context library — a curated, synced folder of notes optimized for LLM consumption, inspired by Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base pattern.
Full docs: [better-bear.com](https://better-bear.com)
Install
Install the CLI, then connect to Claude:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KuvopLLC/better-bear/main/install.sh | bashbcli auth bcli mcp install
This installs the bcli binary, authenticates with iCloud, and sets up the MCP server for both Claude Desktop (via .mcpb bundle) and Claude Code.
Other install methods
| Method | Command |
|---|---|
| Claude Desktop only | bcli mcp install --desktop-only |
| Claude Code only | bcli mcp install --code-only |
| Claude Code (direct) | claude mcp add better-bear -- npx -y better-bear |
| Config file | bcli mcp install --json |
| .mcpb bundle | Download from latest release and double-click |
Manage
bcli mcp status # check what's configuredbcli mcp uninstall # remove from Claude Desktop and Claude Code bcli mcp reinstall # clean uninstall + install bcli upgrade # upgrade bcli binary
CLI
All commands also work standalone from the terminal:
bcli ls # list notesbcli search "query" # full-text search bcli create "Title" -b "Body" # create a note bcli edit --append "text" # append to a note bcli tags # list all tags bcli attach photo.jpg # attach a file bcli stats # library statistics bcli health # health check
See better-bear.com for the full command reference.
Context Library
Turn a subset of your Bear notes into a synced, curated context folder that Claude can navigate using index-first retrieval. Tag notes with #context in Bear, sync, and Claude reads a compact index to find relevant files — loading only what it needs, not everything.
bcli context init # one-time setupbcli context sync # pull qualifying notes bcli context add --subtag research # tag a note for inclusion bcli context status # health check
Or tell Claude: *"Set up a context library"* — and it handles everything via MCP tools.
The architecture follows Karpathy's three-folder pattern: bear/ (synced from CloudKit), external/ (PDFs, exports, shared docs), and inbox/ (drop zone for triage). An index.md manifest maps everything. See better-bear.com for full documentation.
MCP Tools
34 tools covering notes, tags, TODOs, attachments, search, front matter, stats, health checks, and the context library. See the MCP server README for the full list.
