MCP Integration
Connect TieBase to AI tools via the Model Context Protocol
1 min read
TieBase supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so AI tools (like Claude Desktop or Cursor) can read and search your local notes when you ask.
If you haven’t set it up yet, start with: MCP Setup Guide.
What is MCP?
MCP is a standardized way for AI applications to access external data sources. With MCP enabled, your AI assistant can:
- Read your TieBase notes
- Search your notes by keyword and tag
- Reference specific notes during conversations
What TieBase provides
TieBase exposes an MCP server with a small set of tools.
search
Search notes by keyword and/or tag.
- Keyword search:
{"query": "meeting"} - Tag search:
{"tag": "work"} - Combined:
{"query": "meeting", "tag": "work"}
list_tags
Get a list of available tags.
get_tag_content
Get all content from notes with a specific tag.
Privacy & security
- Notes stay on your device (local-first).
- The MCP server communicates locally (STDIO-based).
- AI tools access notes only when you use MCP tools.
