Overview
Apple Notes MCP Server provides seamless integration of Apple Notes with any MCP-compatible client. It enables full note automation — including creating, reading, updating, and deleting notes — through a simple and secure AppleScript API layer.
Features
- Full CRUD support for Apple Notes (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
- Works with Continue.dev, Claude Desktop, Perplexity, and other MCP clients
- Native AppleScript integration for reliable macOS automation
- Comprehensive tools for Apple Notes automation
- Automatic installation via
uvxor manual setup - FastMCP implementation with modern decorator-based API
Requirements
- macOS - Required for AppleScript support
- Python 3.10+ - Required for MCP SDK compatibility
- Apple Notes application - Must be installed and accessible
- MCP-compatible client (e.g., Continue.dev, Claude Desktop)
Quick Start
Step 1: Install uv (if not already installed)
macOS/Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Windows (PowerShell):
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
Alternative (pip):
pip install uv
Step 2: Add MCP Configuration
Add this configuration to your MCP client:
For Perplexity, Cursor, Continue.dev, Claude Desktop:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-notes": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-apple-notes@latest"]
}
}
}🎉 That's it! Your MCP client will
