Description

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects directly to the Bear SQLite database in strict read-only mode so AI agents (e.g., Claude) can read and search your notes without risk of modification. It exposes tools to open notes by title or ID, search notes by term or tag, list all tags, and show notes for a specific tag. The server is easy to run via npx or by cloning and supports configuration for Claude Desktop and the Claude VS Code extension. The read-only enforcement at the database driver level ensures user data remains safe and unmodified.
