I gave Claude Code access to my note-taking tool and stopped doing everything in my workspace manually

- CLAUDE.md handles the project, not the whole knowledge base. MCP beats logging into a browser Claude doesn’t fully control
- Read-only by default, scoped, expiring, revocable. Retrieval, not automation, was the actual unlock
- A vague question now pulls exactly the right page. Reading works today, writing is still catching up
- A community server exists, but it means trusting third-party code. AFFiNE stayed the notebook, Claude just learned to read it
- Notes stay editable by hand, Claude just fetches on demand
