Noticky MCP for macOS

MCP server for sticky notes on Mac. Let your AI work with the notes already on your desktop.

Connect Noticky to Claude Desktop, Codex, or another MCP-compatible AI app. Search, read, create, update, open, trash, and restore local sticky notes without breaking your flow.

Runs locally Permission controlled Recoverable Trash

Find the right note

Search or list notes, read Markdown and safe metadata, then bring the exact sticky note to the front on your Mac.

Create and edit safely

Create a note, append text verbatim, or update an unlocked note with protection against overwriting newer content.

Clean up without losing work

Move notes to Noticky's recoverable Trash and restore them later. MCP never permanently deletes a note.

Eight focused tools

Enough access to be useful. Clear limits by design.

Noticky exposes a small, explicit MCP toolset for note-taking. Your AI can work with real notes instead of copying text between a chat window and your desktop.

  • “Find my notes tagged launch and open the latest one.”
  • “Create a sticky note with the release checklist.”
  • “Append this decision to my meeting note.”

Local by default

Your notes. Your Mac. Your permissions.

The MCP service runs on your Mac and accepts authenticated local connections. Tool discovery follows the permissions you enable, so disabled actions are not available to the client.

Updates protect newer content. Locked notes stay locked.

FAQ

Sticky notes MCP, without the vague parts.

What is an MCP server for sticky notes?

MCP, or Model Context Protocol, gives a compatible AI app a defined set of tools for working with another app. Noticky's MCP server lets your AI find, read, create, edit, open, trash, and restore your local sticky notes.

Which AI apps can connect to Noticky?

Noticky includes guided setup for Claude Desktop and Codex, plus a manual option for other AI apps that support MCP over STDIO.

Do my notes leave my Mac?

The Noticky MCP server and its authenticated connection run locally on your Mac. When you ask an AI app to read a note, that app may process the content according to its own provider and privacy settings.

What can an AI app do with my Noticky notes?

Depending on the permissions you enable, it can search and read notes, bring a note to the front, create notes, append or update content, move notes to Trash, and restore them.

Can MCP permanently delete a note?

No. The Trash tool only moves an active note to Noticky's recoverable Trash. A separate restore tool can bring it back.

What version of macOS does Noticky require?

Noticky requires macOS 15 Sequoia or later. The MCP integration runs locally through the Mac app.
