Questions
What is the Notes MCP server?
An MCP server that connects with your Apple Notes on macOS.
What tools does Notes expose?
6 in total: 5 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Notes safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Notes need?

How does Notes run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as notes-mcp at 1.0.0.
How current is this page?
