What is the Bear MCP Server?
Connect your Bear App database to any AI agent and manage your entire localized knowledge base through natural conversation.
O que você pode fazer
- Note Operations — Search globally, read explicit full-markdown note content, and orchestrate the creation of rich hierarchical docs
- Content Mutation — Inject new blocks into existing resources (
add_text), avoiding constant manual copy-pasting - Lifecycle Control — Move outdated research aggressively to the Archive or permanently isolate abandoned drafts in the Trash
- Taxonomy & Tags — List tags, explore bounded nested hierarchies, or completely rename structural tags across thousands of items
Como funciona
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Bear API Token (interfacing directly with your private local instance)
- Take absolute control of your linked-thinking graph via Claude or Cursor natively
Say goodbye to breaking focus. Your autonomous agent fetches the precise code snippets or creative writing you saved months ago without breaking context.
Para quem é?
- Developers — inject raw saved configuration blocks directly into your active coding environment
- Writers & Researchers — let the AI read your fragmented thoughts, organize your nested active tags, and assemble pristine drafts
- Productivity Enthusiasts — search the "@todo" tag instantly summarizing all pending personal action items

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Bear into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Bear and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI precisely update a note without overwriting its entire content?
Yes. It uses the add_text mutation tool, seamlessly attaching blocks of text to either the absolute bottom (append) or the explicit top (prepend) of the given UUID note, leaving the core intact.
Does it understand nested tags (like #work/design/logo)?
Bear relies heavily on tagging workflows. The agent natively queries and navigates explicit sub-tag pathways exactly like the application UI, mapping out your distinct taxonomy rules efficiently.
Can it search for uncompleted action items across many notes?
Simply ask the agent to search for the specialized string '@todo'. Bear exposes these native markers directly via the API, returning every unique UUID containing a matching string checklist efficiently.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
