MCP Setup Guide

TieBase includes a built-in STDIO-based MCP server so AI tools (like Claude Desktop) can access your local notes when you ask.

1) Get the MCP server path

On macOS you can copy the MCP path from TieBase’s menu bar / tray icon.

Typical path:

/Applications/TieBase.app/Contents/Resources/mcp

Get MCP Path

Open Claude Desktop’s config file:

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add (or merge) the following configuration. Replace the path if yours is different:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tie": {
      "command": "/Applications/TieBase.app/Contents/Resources/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop so it picks up the new MCP server.
