Restart Cursor IDE
Using the MCP Server
Once configured, you can use the following tools in your conversations with Claude:
- list-notes: Lists all your Apple Notes titles
- index-notes: Indexes your notes for semantic search (do this first)
- get-note: Retrieves a specific note by title
- search-notes: Searches your notes using semantic or keyword search
- create-note: Creates a new note with specified title and content
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:
- Check that the server is running by looking at the MCP server status in Cursor
