How to connect cursor to apple notes

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

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
Press Set up beside Cursor.
Pomeroy opens Cursor's own install link. Cursor shows a dialog with the command it is about to add and asks you to confirm. If Cursor does not respond, Pomeroy writes the same entry to Cursor's configuration file.
3
Check Cursor.
In Cursor's settings, the MCP section lists pomeroy with its tools. In a chat, agent mode can call them. You may need to restart Cursor.
4
Ask Cursor 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 Cursor read my Apple Notes?

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

Can Cursor change or delete a note?

No. Cursor 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 Cursor to Apple Notes?

Pomeroy reads your notes on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What Cursor 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.

Cursor does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Try restarting Cursor; its documentation does not say whether it reloads on its own. Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether Cursor is connected right now.
