Semantic + keyword search and connection-discovery across the user's own Apple Notes via the apple-notes MCP server. Use when the user wants to find, recall, or synthesize something from their notes, or surface non-obvious bridges/related notes. macOS, on-device.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Apple Notes search & connection-discovery
`apple-notes` is an MCP server for semantic search and connection-discovery across the
user's own Apple Notes — hybrid search, Swanson-ABC bridges, entity threads, and cited
synthesis over everything they've written. Embeddings, search, BM25, clustering, and
bridges run **on-device**; only **synthesis generation** calls an LLM (local OR cloud,
the user's choice).
This skill covers (1) the one-time setup you must walk the user through, and (2) which
tool to reach for, since the server exposes many.
## When to Use This Skill
- Use when the user wants to **find, recall, or look up** something from their own Apple
Notes ("search my notes for X", "what did I write about X", "did I ever note Y").
- Use when the user wants to surface **non-obvious connections** across their notes
("find bridges/connections across my notes", "what links X and Y", "show related notes").
- Use when the user wants to **synthesize a position** from their notes ("summarize what I
think about X from my notes", "pull together everything I've written on X").
- Also use for "index my Apple Notes", tag/folder queries, and "what's connected to X".

How to install
mdr add ghosteken/agent-harness/apple-notes-search@sha256:809ff3943340f2faThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260721.efafd9c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
