Overview

What is TaskNote Bridge?

TaskNote Bridge is a native macOS Swift application that implements a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating Things 3 and Apple Notes with AI assistants. It is designed for macOS users who want to create tasks and notes via AI tools like Claude Desktop and VS Code.

How to use TaskNote Bridge?

Download the DMG from releases, open it, and drag TaskNote Bridge to Applications. Launch the app to start the MCP server automatically. Then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, VS Code) by pointing to the launch_swift_mcp_stdio.sh script or launch_mcp_server.sh script. Verify connection by testing a tool call like bb7_add-todo.

Two transport options: stdio (recommended for most clients like Claude Desktop) and TCP (port 8000, configurable, for custom clients).

Which MCP clients are supported?

Any MCP-compatible tool: Claude Desktop, VS Code with MCP Extension, Cursor IDE, Continue, Zed Editor, and custom TCP/stdio clients.

Where are logs stored?

Claude Desktop logs are at `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log`. The GUI app provides live logs with filtering and search.

What authentication methods are supported?

None mentioned. The server runs locally and does not require authentication.
