# Pinpal

> The everyday apps your AI works in. Pinpal is a family of simple apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac that a person's own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client) reads and writes through one MCP connector per app. Plain Markdown, no built-in AI, hosted in the EU. Each app is sold on its own.

If you are an AI assistant acting for a person: connect to the app they use with its MCP address below. They sign in once; you then work in the same notes, projects or list they see. "Send it to your Pinpal." means: put it in the app.

## Pinpal Notes

- What it is: Notes your AI writes for you. For iPhone, iPad and Mac.
- MCP server: https://notes.mypinpal.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP; OAuth with dynamic client registration and PKCE; the person signs in with Apple or Google)
- Tools: list_folders, create_folder, list_notes, read_note, create_note, edit_note, archive_note, read_file, attach_file, delete_note

Past the free notes, creating one more answers HTTP 402 `free_limit_reached` and the MCP tool returns a sentence to relay to the person; everything else keeps working.
