🤯 What Can This Thing Do?

Basically everything you wish your Mac could do automatically (but never bothered to set up):

💬 Messages - Because who has time to text manually?

• Send messages to anyone in your contacts (even that person you've been avoiding)

• Read your messages (finally catch up on those group chats)

• Schedule messages for later (be that organized person you pretend to be)

📝 Notes - Your brain's external hard drive

Full Apple Notes management via MCP — search, list, read, create, update, append, delete, and open notes. Each note gets a stable synthetic ID (folder::creationDate::title) you can reuse for follow-up operations.

Note IDs: After create, list, or search, copy the ID: line from results. Use it with read, append, update, delete, or open to target the exact note — even when titles duplicate.

Example MCP calls:

{ "operation": "create", "title": "Sprint Goals", "body": "- Ship feature\n- Write tests", "folderName": "Work" }

{ "operation": "append", "noteId": "Work::Friday, May 30, 2026 at 10:00:00 AM::Sprint Goals", "body": "\n---\nDone: tests" }

{ "operation": "read", "noteId": "Work::Friday, May 30, 2026 at 10:00:00 AM::Sprint Goals" }

Requires Automation → Notes permission for your terminal or Cursor.

👥 Contacts - Your personal network, digitized

• Find anyone in your contacts without scrolling forever

• Get phone numbers instantly (no more "hey, what's your number again?")

• Actually use that contact database you've been building for years

📧 Mail - Email like a pro (or at least pretend to)

Full inbox triage via MCP — no OpenClaw required. Fast SQLite search plus Mail.app actions for organization.

Inbox zero workflow: overview → search for urgent items → reply/draft for responses → move to Archive → markRead for the rest.

Message IDs: Returned by search, unread, overview, and latest. Reuse with read, open, reply, forward, move, and markRead.

Requires Full Disk Access (SQLite index) and Automation → Mail (move, reply, mark read).

⏰ Reminders - For humans with human memory

Full Apple Reminders management when remindctl is installed (brew install steipete/tap/remindctl). Uses EventKit for fast list/search/complete/delete with iCloud sync — no OpenClaw required.

Reminder IDs: show, search, and create return stable IDs you can reuse with info, edit, complete, delete, and open.

Setup:

brew install steipete/tap/remindctl
remindctl authorize

Requires Reminders permission for your terminal or Cursor.

📅 Calendar - Time management for the chronically late

• Create events faster than you can double-book yourself

• Search for that meeting you're definitely forgetting about

• List upcoming events (spoiler: you're probably late to something)

• Open calendar events directly (skip the app hunting)

🗺️ Maps - For people who still get lost with GPS

• Search locations (find that coffee shop with the weird name)

• Save favorites (bookmark your life's important spots)

• Get directions (finally stop asking Siri while driving)

• Create guides (be that friend who plans everything)

• Drop pins like you're claiming territory

🎭 The Magic of Chaining Commands

Here's where it gets spicy. You can literally say:

"Read my conference notes, find contacts for the people I met, and send them a thank you message"

And it just... works. Like actual magic, but with more code.

🚀 Installation (The Easy Way)

Option 1: Smithery (For the Sophisticated)

npx -y install-mcp apple-mcp --client claude

For Cursor users (we see you):

npx -y install-mcp apple-mcp --client cursor

Option 2: Manual Setup (For the Brave)

First, get bun (if you don't have it already):

brew install oven-sh/bun/bun

Then add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-mcp": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["--no-cache", "apple-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
