Overview
Manage Bear Notes (search, read, create, update) directly through AI conversations, offering local-only data processing and privacy.
Installation
npx -y bear-notes-mcp@latestSecurity Notes
The server is explicitly designed as 'local-only', with no external network connections, ensuring data privacy. It directly accesses the Bear Notes SQLite database at a fixed, application-specific path for read operations, using parameterized SQL queries to prevent injection. Write operations leverage Bear's X-callback-URL API, invoked via macOS's 'open -g' command, which safely passes the URL as a single argument. No 'eval' or other obfuscation techniques are used, and there are no hardcoded secrets in the provided source code. The primary security 'gotcha' is Claude Desktop's general warning about file system access, which in this case is restricted to the specific Bear database.
