Apple Notes MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to the Apple Notes app on your Mac. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI to make a note, find one, change it, or tidy up your folders, and it will actually do it inside Apple Notes. It is handy if you keep meeting notes, to-do lists or ideas in Apple Notes and want to manage them by just talking.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in your AI chat, like asking it to create a note or find one about a topic. Your AI passes that request to this helper program. The helper talks to the Apple Notes app on your Mac using Apple's own automation system, called AppleScript. Apple Notes then creates, reads, updates or deletes the note, and the helper sends the result back. You see the answer or the confirmation right in the chat.

What it gives back to you

You get answers back in the chat, like a list of matching notes, the text inside a note, or a folder tree. When it makes a change, it tells you what it did, for example that a note was created or moved. For reading, you see the note content, including any formatting like headings or lists. For searching, you get a list of notes that match your words.
