Bear Notes MCP server

This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to your Bear notes app. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI to find a note, write a new one, add tags, or check your to-do lists. It is handy if you keep a lot of notes in Bear and want to work with them by just talking.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your notes, like find my recipe for bread. The AI passes that request to this helper. The helper talks to Bear through iCloud, where your notes already live. Then it brings the answer back into your chat, or makes the change you asked for, like adding a tag or creating a new note.

What it gives back to you

You get answers right in the chat, like a list of matching notes with their titles and a short preview. If you asked for a full note, you get the text and its tags. If you asked it to make a change, it tells you what it did, such as the note it created or the tag it added.

Who it's for

People who keep a lot of notes in Bear and want to search, write, and tidy them up by chatting with their AI instead of clicking around.
