# Evernote

> Evernote is a cross-platform note-taking, organization, and task-management app (operated by Bending Spoons). Its Evernote Cloud API (EDAM) is a Thrift-based service exposing UserStore and NoteStore operations to create, read, search, share, and synchronize notes, notebooks, tags, and resources. Auth is OAuth 1.0a or developer tokens, with a sandbox environment. The classic EDAM API and SDKs are deprecated; an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is in development.
