Better Bear

Overview

Better Bear is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: MCP server for Bear notes — read, search, create, edit, tag, and manage notes via CloudKit. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Better Bear as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package better-bear speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v0.4.26, published under the MIT license, with source at KuvopLLC/better-bear on GitHub, where it has earned 64 stars.

On mcp.site, Better Bear sits in the Productivity category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
