Ursus is a local MCP server and CLI for Bear, the macOS notes app, that lets AI assistants like Claude search, create, and edit notes without breaking their structure, backing up a note before major changes so edits can be compared or restored. It is built for Bear users who want AI-assisted note editing with a safety net against Bear's lack of built-in version history.
