This allows AI assistants like Claude to search and reference your Apple Notes during conversations.\n\n![MCP Apple Notes](./images/demo.png)\n\n## Features\n\n- 🔍 Semantic search over Apple Notes using [`all-MiniLM-L6-v2`](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2) on-device embeddings model\n- 📝 Full-text search capabilities\n- 📊 Vector storage using [LanceDB](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/)\n- 🤖 MCP-compatible server for AI assistant integration\n- 🍎 Native Apple Notes integration via JXA\n- 🏃‍♂️ Fully local execution - no API keys needed\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- [Bun](https://bun.sh/docs/installation)\n- [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download)\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/RafalWilinski/mcp-apple-notes\ncd mcp-apple-notes\n```\n\n2. Install dependencies:\n\n```bash\nbun install\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Open Claude desktop app and go to Settings -\u003e Developer -\u003e Edit Config\n\n![Claude Desktop Settings](./images/desktop_settings.png)\n\n2. Open the `claude_desktop_config.json` and add the following entry:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"local-machine\": {\n      \"command\": \"/Users/\u003cYOUR_USER_NAME\u003e/.bun/bin/bun\",\n      \"args\": [\"/Users/\u003cYOUR_USER_NAME\u003e/apple-notes-mcp/index.ts\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nImportant: Replace `\u003cYOUR_USER_NAME\u003e` with your actual username.\n\n3. Restart Claude desktop app. You should see this:\n\n![Claude MCP Connection Status](./images/verify_installation.png)\n\n4. Start by indexing your notes. Ask Claude to index your notes by saying something like: \"Index my notes\" or \"Index my Apple Notes\".\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\nTo see logs:\n\n```bash\ntail -n 50 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-local-machine.log\n# or\ntail -n 50 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp.log\n```\n\n## Todos\n\n- [ ] Apple notes are returned in the HTML format. We should turn them to Markdown and embed that\n- [ ] Chunk source content using recursive text splitter or markdown text splitter\n- [ ] Add an option to use custom embeddings model\n- [ ] More control over DB - purge, custom queries, etc.\n- [x] Storing notes in Notes via Claude\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FRafalWilinski%2Fmcp-apple-notes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FRafalWilinski%2Fmcp-apple-notes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FRafalWilinski%2Fmcp-apple-notes/lists"}
