README

bear-mcp

An MCP server that gives Claude direct access to your Bear notes via better-bear-cli (bcli).

bcli talks to Bear through CloudKit (the same path Bear Web uses), so it's safe to run alongside Bear without touching the local SQLite database.


Prerequisites

    brew install bcli   # or however you install it
    bcli auth           # authenticate with Bear / iCloud
    
  2. Node.js 18+


Setup

cd /path/to/bear-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then register in ~/.claude.json under the project you want bear-mcp available in:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bear-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/you/Developer/MCP Servers/bear-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
