Overview

Bear MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to notes stored in the Bear note app. Bear stores notes in a SQLite database, and this MCP server runs SQL commands to access them. The server allows users to read notes, search notes by text, and list all tags. It's designed for use with the Bear note application on macOS and requires access to the Bear database. The server offers several tools, including get_notes to retrieve all notes, get_tags to list all tags, and get_notes_like to search for notes containing specific text. The project is available on GitHub under the ISC license.

How can I search for a specific phrase within my Bear notes?

Use the `get_notes_like` MCP tool, which runs an SQL query against the database to return all notes containing the specified text. This is available once the server is started.
