How to connect github copilot cli to apple notes

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install GitHub Copilot CLI first if it is not there yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on Apple Notes.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. macOS asks whether Pomeroy may control Notes, which is how one Mac app reads another's notes. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside GitHub Copilot CLI.

    Pomeroy runs Copilot CLI's own mcp add command, which always writes your user configuration rather than one project's.

  3. 3

    Check GitHub Copilot CLI.

    Run copilot mcp list and pomeroy is listed. Inside a session, /mcp show pomeroy gives its tools.

  4. 4

    Ask GitHub Copilot CLI something.

    Try “Find my note about the boiler pressure.” and a real answer comes back.

The configuration, in full

Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, and how to check it worked.

Can GitHub Copilot CLI read my Apple Notes?

Yes. Once you switch Notes on in Pomeroy, GitHub Copilot CLI can list your notes by name and read any one of them in full. Note bodies come back as plain text.

Can GitHub Copilot CLI change or delete a note?

No. GitHub Copilot CLI can create a new note, and that is the only writing it does. An existing note is never edited, moved, or deleted.

Is it safe to connect GitHub Copilot CLI to Apple Notes?

Pomeroy reads your notes on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What GitHub Copilot CLI reads becomes part of your conversation, the same as text you paste in. Notes starts switched off, and you can switch it off again at any time. Pomeroy is an independent app, not made by Anthropic.

GitHub Copilot CLI does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Then check that the app you asked about is switched on in Pomeroy: an app that is off serves no tools. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether GitHub Copilot CLI is connected right now.
