Your notes, inside Claude.
Connect CraftNote to Claude.ai and your meetings, lectures, and voice memos become a knowledge base Claude can search. Ask Claude to summarize last week's standup, pull action items from a recording, or find that thing you said in October — without ever leaving the chat.
Overview
What is the CraftNote connector?
Claude supports Model Context Protocol connectors — secure bridges that let Claude read data from apps you already use. The CraftNote connector gives Claude read-only access to your notes so it can search, cite, and reason over them while you chat. You authenticate once with your CraftNote account, and you can revoke access from either side at any time.
What Claude can do with it
Find notes by keyword or topic, pull a full transcript, surface action items across meetings, summarize a recording, and cross-reference notes from different days — all grounded in your actual notes, with sources Claude can quote back to you.
Read-only by design
The connector only exposes search and read endpoints. Claude cannot create, edit, delete, or share notes on your behalf. Audio files, billing information, and notes shared with you by other people stay off-limits.
Setup · 2 minutes
Connect it to Claude.ai
You need a Claude.ai account and a CraftNote account. Both have free tiers — if you don't have CraftNote yet, start one here.
Open the Claude connectors directory
In Claude.ai, click your profile, then go to Settings → Connectors. Choose Browse connectors and search for "CraftNote". Click the CraftNote card to start the connection.
Don't see CraftNote yet? Make sure you're on a workspace with connectors enabled.
Sign in to CraftNote and approve access
Claude opens the CraftNote consent screen on mcp.craftnoteapp.com. Sign in with the same email you use for the CraftNote app, review the requested permissions (read-only access to your notes), and approve.
CraftNote never shares your password with Claude. The connection uses OAuth 2.1 with short-lived access tokens.
Ask Claude about your notes
Open a new chat in Claude. Ask things like "Find the meeting where we decided on the pricing change" or "Summarize my last three product reviews and list every action item."Claude will call CraftNote, fetch the relevant notes, and answer with citations you can click.
Tip: Claude works best when you give it specifics — dates, project names, or the topic of the meeting. CraftNote's search is full-text across transcripts.
Permissions
What Claude can and can't see
We designed the connector to give Claude exactly the context it needs — and nothing more. Everything below is enforced at the API layer, not just the UI.
What Claude can access
Read-onlyFrom notes you own in your CraftNote account.
- Note metadata — title, created/updated date, folder, tags.
- Transcript text from your recordings, voice memos, and uploads.
- AI summary and key takeaways CraftNote generated for the note.
- Action items, todos, flashcards, and quizzes extracted from the note.
- Full-text search across every note you own.
What Claude can't access
Out of scope, intentionally.
- No edits or deletes. The connector exposes no write endpoints.
- No other users' notes. Only the notes in your own account.
- No notes shared with you by other CraftNote users.
- No raw audio or video files — only the transcript and derived content.
- No account, billing, or subscription data.
Control
How to disconnect
You can revoke the connection from either Claude or CraftNote at any time. Either side takes effect immediately — Claude can no longer call CraftNote until you reconnect.
From Claude.ai
Settings → Connectors → CraftNote → Disconnect
Removes the connector from this Claude workspace. Future chats won't have access to your notes until you reconnect.
From CraftNote
Settings → Connected Apps → Claude → Revoke
Revokes the OAuth token CraftNote issued to Claude. Any in-flight Claude requests fail immediately and Claude is asked to reconnect.
Privacy & support
CraftNote treats notes accessed through the connector under the same Privacy Policy that covers the rest of the product. We don't train models on your notes, we don't share them with third parties, and we keep an audit log of every connector request so you can review what Claude has read.
