Implementation Reference
- mcp-server/src/tools.ts:710-726 (handler)The 'bear_find_duplicates' tool handler. The 'buildArgs' function constructs CLI arguments ['duplicates', '--json'] which are executed by execBcliWithReauth. The tool calls the external 'bcli' CLI with 'duplicates --json' to find notes with duplicate titles, returning JSON output that lists groups of duplicate-titled notes with their IDs and modification dates.
