Includes a context library — a curated, synced folder of notes optimized for LLM consumption, inspired by Karpathy's LLM Knowledge Base pattern. Full docs: better-bear.com Install Install the CLI, then connect to Claude: This installs the bcli binary, authenticates with iCloud, and sets up the MCP server for both Claude Desktop (via .mcpb bundle) and Claude Code. Other install methods Method Command -------- --------- Claude Desktop only bcli mcp install --desktop-only Claude Code only bcli mcp install --code-only Claude Code (direct) claude mcp add better-bear -- npx -y better-bear Config file bcli mcp install --json .mcpb bundle Download from latest release and double-click Manage CLI All commands also work standalone from the terminal: See better-bear.com for the full command reference. Context Library Turn a subset of your Bear notes into a synced, curated context folder that Claude can navigate using index-first retrieval. Tag notes with #context in Bear, sync, and Claude reads a compact index to find relevant files — loading only what it needs, not everything. Or tell Claude: \"Set up a context library\" — and it handles everything via MCP tools. The architecture follows Karpathy's three-folder pattern: bear/ (synced from CloudKit), external/ (PDFs, exports, shared docs), and inbox/ (drop zone for triage). An index.md manifest maps everything. See better-bear.com for full documentation.
