## Features

* **Memory Recall**: Access notes, calendar events, messages, files and other information from your Mac
* **Memory Persistence**: Save important information to Apple Notes for future reference
* **Minimal Setup**: Just enable Remote Login on the target Mac
* **Universal Compatibility**: Works with all macOS versions

## Control in your hand
You can use prompt to instruct how you want your memory to be save. For example:
```
You should always use Folder "baryhuang" on recall and save memory.
```

## Installation
- [Enable SSH on macOS](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/allow-a-remote-computer-to-access-your-mac-mchlp1066/mac)
- [Install Docker Desktop for local Mac](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/mac-install/)
- [Add this MCP server to Claude Desktop](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user)

You can configure Claude Desktop to use the Docker image by adding the following to your Claude configuration:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-apple-remembers": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "-e",
        "MACOS_USERNAME=your_macos_username",
        "-e",
        "MACOS_PASSWORD=your_macos_password",
        "-e",
        "MACOS_HOST=localhost",
        "--rm",
        "buryhuang/mcp-my-apple-remembers:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Tools Specifications

#### my_apple_recall_memory
Run AppleScript commands on a remote macOS system to recall memories. This tool helps access Apple Notes, Calendar events, iMessages, chat history, files, and other information on your Mac.

#### my_apple_save_memory
Run AppleScript commands on a remote macOS system to save important information. This tool allows AI to persist relevant information to Apple Notes for future reference. 

All tools require macOS SSH access, with host and password.

## Security Note

Always use secure, authenticated connections when accessing remote macOS machines. This tool should only be used with servers you trust and have permission to access.

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 2 tools

Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one is for retrieving information from various macOS sources (recall), and the other is for saving information specifically to Apple Notes (save). There is no overlap or ambiguity between these functions.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a consistent 'my_apple_verb_memory' pattern, using the same prefix and suffix structure. The verbs 'recall' and 'save' are descriptive and aligned in style.

Tool Count2/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for its apparent scope of interacting with macOS data (notes, calendar, messages, files, etc.). A more comprehensive set would include tools for updating or deleting information, or handling other macOS apps beyond just Apple Notes.

Completeness2/5

The server is severely incomplete for macOS data management. It only covers recall (read) and save (create to notes), missing essential operations like update, delete, or interactions with other macOS apps (e.g., calendar events, messages). This will likely cause agent failures in broader workflows.
