MCP server for developers
Connect your notes to ChatGPT and Claude
Open ChatGPT or Claude. Your notes are already there.
Ask ChatGPT or Claude about a service and it answers from a pile of runbooks and notes. 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.

Three bugs in the workflow, closed
No feature tour. What changes when your runbooks can be queried instead of grepped.
1.
You fixed this bug in March and are debugging it again from scratch.
Stop solving the same bug twice
Describe the symptom in search and get the note where you already worked it out.
2.
The decision lives in a Slack thread that scrolled away.
Keep decisions where you can defend them
Ask what you decided about a service and get the note, the date and the reasoning.
3.
The AI tool wants your notes on its server, and you want them on disk.
Point the AI at your own stack
Bring your own key, or run a local model through Ollama, and keep the workspace on disk.
// usage
What that looks like for developers
Three points in a sprint where the tool earns its slot.
Debugging
Write the symptom, the theory and the fix in one note, with the log you kept attached.
Architecture review
Record the conversation and keep the decision log next to the diagram.
New project
Keep the setup steps in a runbook that actually gets found again.
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.

Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
- Can I run the AI locally?
- Yes. Grape connects to Ollama and LM Studio as well as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, Grok and OpenRouter, and you can add any OpenAI compatible endpoint yourself.
- How does it handle technical notes?
- Inline code, tables, checklists, Markdown paste that keeps formatting, and export back out to Markdown when you want the note somewhere else.
- What is Grape, in one paragraph?
- Grape is a note app for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android with AI built into the middle of it rather than bolted on the side. You write, record and collect things the normal way, and then you can search by meaning, ask questions about your own notes, and turn any note into a summary, a set of flashcards, a quiz or a mind map.
- What makes it different from other note apps?
- Most note apps treat AI as an extra panel. In Grape the agent works on your workspace: it can read, create, edit, move, tag and delete notes, and every answer points back to the note it came from. Semantic search, voice transcription, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps and the drawing canvas all live inside the editor rather than in separate tools.
- Where do my notes actually live?
- On your device, in a local database, and you can choose where that file sits. Nothing needs to leave your machine for the app to work. If you turn on sync with a Sync or Pro plan, your notes are also stored in the cloud so your devices can stay in step. On Lifetime they sync through your own Dropbox or Google Drive instead, and Grape never sees them.
- Do I need an account to use it?
- No. Download the app and start writing. You only need an account for the paid plans, which is where cross device sync and built in AI come in.
