SlashNote MCP vs Notion API vs Apple Notes vs Obsidian
Four very different ways to give an AI agent access to your notes — and how SlashNote compares on the parts that matter.

| Supported AI Clients | Claude · Cursor · VS Code · Windsurf · JetBrains · Zed | Any HTTP-capable client | Shortcuts on iOS / macOS only | Obsidian Copilot, Smart Connections |
| Data Location | Local (your Mac) | Cloud (Notion servers) | Local + iCloud sync | Local (markdown files) |
| Setup | One-line install | OAuth + API key + integration page | Built-in to macOS | Manual plugin install + config |
| Operations | 20 tools + 6 prompt templates | Pages, blocks, databases CRUD | Get / Create / Append actions | Plugin-dependent |
| Best For | Multi-IDE AI workflow | Cloud-first teams | iPhone capture flows | Markdown power-users |
