It talks directly to Notes.app\nthrough [ScriptingBridge](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scriptingbridge) — no cloud\nAPI, no osascript, no spawned child processes, no background daemon.\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e This tool uses the ScriptingBridge API, which Apple does not officially support.\n\u003e It's a low-level interface that may change in future macOS releases.\n\u003e **Use at your own risk**.\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]\n\u003e ScriptingBridge performs best on small to medium libraries. Reading every note in a\n\u003e very large library may be slow. Avoid using Apple Notes as a long-term memory store for models.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Using Homebrew\n\n```shell\nbrew install evg4b/tap/apple-notes-mcp\n```\n\n### Using Stew\n\n```shell\nstew install evg4b/apple-notes-mcp\n```\n\n### Pre-built binaries\n\nDownload the binary for your architecture from the\n[latest release](https://github.com/evg4b/apple-notes-mcp/releases/latest), verify the\nchecksum with the bundled `SHA256SUMS.txt`, then install:\n\n```sh\n# Apple Silicon\ncurl -Lo apple-notes-mcp https://github.com/evg4b/apple-notes-mcp/releases/latest/download/apple-notes-mcp-aarch64-apple-darwin\nchmod +x apple-notes-mcp\nsudo mv apple-notes-mcp /usr/local/bin/\n\n# Intel\ncurl -Lo apple-notes-mcp https://github.com/evg4b/apple-notes-mcp/releases/latest/download/apple-notes-mcp-x86_64-apple-darwin\nchmod +x apple-notes-mcp\nsudo mv apple-notes-mcp /usr/local/bin/\n```\n\n### Build from source\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/evg4b/apple-notes-mcp\ncd apple-notes-mcp\ncargo build --release\ncp target/release/apple-notes-mcp /usr/local/bin/\n```\n\n## Setup\n\n### Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"apple-notes\": {\n      \"command\": \"/usr/local/bin/apple-notes-mcp\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"--scopes\",\n        \"read,write,delete\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nRestart Claude Desktop. On the first tool call macOS will show an **Automation permission**\ndialog — click OK. If you miss it, go to\n**System Settings → Privacy \u0026 Security → Automation** and enable Notes for your client.\n\n### Other MCP clients\n\nThe server uses the stdio transport (newline-delimited JSON on stdin/stdout).\nPoint `command` at the binary path and pass `--scopes` as needed.\n\n## CLI reference\n\n```\napple-notes-mcp [OPTIONS]\n\nOptions:\n      --scopes \u003cSCOPES\u003e        Comma-separated list of scopes to enable.\n                               Valid values: read, write, delete.\n                               [default: read]\n      --log-file \u003cLOG_FILE\u003e    Path to the log file.\n                               [default: ~/Library/Logs/apple-notes-mcp/apple-notes-mcp.log]\n      --log-level \u003cLOG_LEVEL\u003e  Log verbosity level.\n                               Valid values: error, warn, info, debug, trace.\n                               [default: error]\n  -h, --help                   Print help\n  -V, --version                Print version\n```\n\n### Scopes\n\n| Scope    | Tools enabled                                                                                                                               |\n|----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `read`   | `list_notes`, `get_note`, `get_all_notes`, `get_notes_in_folder`, `get_notes_in_account`, `list_folders`, `get_subfolders`, `list_accounts` |\n| `write`  | `create_note`, `update_note`                                                                                                                |\n| `delete` | `delete_note`                                                                                                                               |\n\n`read` is always enabled by default.
