Connect AI tools to the notes on your desktop
PinMark MCP lets a compatible client work with desktop notes through a local stdio server. You choose the client, install the configuration, and stay in control of what the client can read or change.
PinMark does not include or host an AI model. The MCP server is a local bridge. Content may be read by the external client you configure, according to that client’s own privacy terms.
Set up in a minute
- Install the PinMark CLI from Settings → Command Line.
- Open Settings → AI MCP.
- Copy the configuration for your MCP-compatible client.
- Restart or reconnect the client, then confirm that PinMark tools are available.
What a connected client can do
Create, list, search, read, append, update, pin, unpin, move to Trash, restore, and open notes. Every operation goes through the local PinMark app.

Clear security boundaries
- No direct Core Data or database access.
- No PinMark-hosted backend is introduced.
- Trash remains recoverable; the MCP tools do not permanently delete notes.
- Background operations can avoid stealing focus; explicit open actions follow user intent.
- Existing Free and Pro feature boundaries remain enforced by the app.
