MCP server for designers
Connect your notes to ChatGPT and Claude
Open ChatGPT or Claude. Your notes are already there.
Ask ChatGPT or Claude about a user flow and it answers from a project folder. Connect Grape once and the AI app you already use can search your notes, read the ones it needs and save what it writes as a new note, on every device.
1Ask in ChatGPT or Claude
2The note is waiting in Grape
One address, https://mcp.grape.cool, for ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code and any other MCP client
Search, read, create, edit, move and pin notes, and make and tidy folders, from the chat
A delete only moves a note to Recently Deleted, and a locked note is never in reach
You allow it once on grape.cool, and remove it from the AI app whenever you like
Connect it once
Add Grape in ChatGPT or Claude, sign in on grape.cool and choose Allow. That is the whole setup.
Ask where you already are
It searches your notes, reads the ones it needs and answers from what you actually wrote.
Keep the answer as a note
Ask it to save the plan and it lands in the folder you name, on every device you use.
Filing from the chat
Make folders, rename them, move notes between them and pin the one you need, without opening Grape.
Nothing is erased for good
A delete only moves the note to Recently Deleted, where you can restore it.
Locked notes stay out
A locked note is sealed on your device, so no AI app can list, read or change it.
01 Outcomes
Three problems, resolved
Not a feature grid. What changes when the sketch and the reasoning live in the same file.
01
The sketch is in one app and the reasoning is in another.
Draw the idea inside the note
An infinite canvas sits in the editor, so a wireframe and the thinking behind it stay together.
02
Six months on, nobody can say why the pattern was chosen.
Explain a decision six months later
Ask why a pattern was chosen and get the note where you argued it out.
03
Research sessions end as a folder of recordings nobody plays back.
Run research without a second tool
Record the session, get the transcript, and pull the quotes into the summary.
04 In use
What that looks like for designers
Three points in a project where the tool changes the work.
Kickoff
Collect the constraints, screenshots and references into one note per problem.
Exploration
Sketch on the canvas, write the tradeoffs underneath and link to related notes.
Critique
Record the feedback session so you are listening instead of typing.
The rest of the app
What Else Grape Does
Every part of the app is built around the same idea: keep what you write, and hand it back when you need it.
07 Questions
Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
Keep both in the same note.
Drawing canvas, screenshots, research and the reasoning behind a decision in one place, so the rationale survives longer than the file name.
