Summary
Connects Claude to DEVONthink 4 via AppleScript for search, filing, bulk operations, and similar-document lookup. Ships seven tools with a preview-then-apply pattern: all write operations run in dry-run mode first, return a confirm token, and log to an append-only SQLite audit with selective undo. Includes optional local RAG via ChromaDB and sentence-transformers for hybrid vector search. Installs as a drag-and-drop .mcpb bundle in Claude Desktop or via pipx for CLI use. Roadmap includes HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 for remote access. MIT licensed, privacy-first design with all data and embeddings staying local. Built for anyone managing contracts, invoices, or research notes in DEVONthink who wants conversational access without risking accidental mutations.
