Pinto Notes connects ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code and Codex to one set of notes. An assistant can find a note, add a row to a table or tick a checklist item, and the result shows up on the phone. The app mirrors Apple Notes and imports from it.
Anything an AI writes is tinted with the assistant's name, and the previous version is kept. One tap undoes the edit. Notes are sealed on the device before upload, and the app asks for approval before an AI connects, with a choice between read-only or read-and-edit access.
Connection goes through Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.pintonotes.com. For Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http pinto-notes https://mcp.pintonotes.com. There is also a plugin that adds a skill describing how notes are laid out, installed with a separate set of commands.
