brentmid/evernote-mcp-server

A local MCP server that connects Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible LLM) with your Evernote account, allowing contextual queries and searches over your notes using natural language.
## 🎯 Project Goal
Enable local, secure AI-assisted access to your Evernote notes. For example:
> "Summarize all my Evernotes regarding my Sea Pro boat."
This project allows the LLM to send MCP calls like createSearch, getNote, and getNoteContent, which are translated into API calls to Evernote. The response is returned to the LLM in a structured format.
