Summary

Connects Claude to Bear notes through the app's x-callback-url scheme, exposing most of the documented actions. You get note creation, text replacement, file attachments, tag management (rename, delete, open), and queries for untagged notes, todos, locked items, and search results. Also handles trash, archive, and URL grabbing. Requires an API token and runs via uvx. Works with Claude Desktop, Goose, and LM Studio. Reach for this when you want your AI to read from and write to your Bear notes directly instead of copy-pasting between apps. The implementation covers the core Bear operations you'd need for an LLM to manage a personal knowledge base stored in Bear.

    cmd: uvx
    args: [--from, git+https://github.com/jkawamoto/mcp-bear, mcp-bear]
    envs: { "BEAR_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>" }
    enabled: true
    type: stdio

For more details on configuring MCP servers in Goose, refer to the documentation: Using Extensions | goose.

Claude

Download the latest MCP bundle mcp-bear.mcpb from the Releases page, then open the downloaded .mcpb file or drag it into the Claude Desktop's Settings window.

You can also manually configure this server for Claude Desktop. Edit the claude_desktop_config.json file by adding the following entry under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bear": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/jkawamoto/mcp-bear",
        "mcp-bear",
        "--token",
        "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After editing, restart the application.
