Claude Desktop extension with bundled MCP Server for Bear note taking app
# Add to your Claude Code skills
git clone https://github.com/vasylenko/claude-desktop-extension-bear-notesSearch, read, create, and update your Bear Notes directly from Claude conversations.
This local-only extension reads Bear's SQLite database for fast search with OCR support, and uses Bear's native API for writes. Complete privacy: no external connections, all processing on your Mac.
Example prompts:
Summarize our conversation and create a new Bear note with it
Interview me about my side project idea and capture the key points in a Bear note
Help me restructure the outline in my "Product Launch" note
Let's brainstorm blog post ideas — save the best ones to my Bear note and refine them as we go

No comments yet. Be the first to share your thoughts!
[!NOTE] Complete privacy (except the data you send to your AI provider when using an AI assistant such as Claude, of course): this extension makes no external connections. All processing happens locally on your Mac using Bear's own database and API. There is no extra telemetry, usage statistics or anything like that.
Prerequisites: Bear app must be installed and Claude Desktop must be installed.
Download the latest bear-notes-mcpb.mcpb extension from releases
Make sure your Claude Desktop is running (start if not)
Doubleclick on the extension file – Claude Desktop should show you the installation prompt
If doubleclick does not work for some reason, then open Claude -> Settings -> Extensions -> Advanced Settings -> click "Install Extension".
DONE!
Ask Claude to search your Bear notes with a query like "Search my Bear notes for 'meeting'" - you should see your notes appear in the response!
