Apple Connector

Apple Connector is a local CLI for Apple Calendar and Reminders. It runs only on your Mac: the management page binds to loopback and expires after one hour; there is no LAN, cloud, or MCP endpoint.

Connect an Agent

Apple Connector works with an Agent running locally on the same Apple Silicon Mac (macOS 14+, supported Node version). It is host-neutral: an Agent only needs to run the CLI and read the packaged Skill.

Give your Agent this instruction:

  1. Run uname -m, sw_vers -productVersion, and node --version to confirm this Mac is Apple Silicon, macOS 14 or later, and has a supported Node version. Stop and explain if any check fails.

  2. Run npm ls -g --depth=0 @jachy/apple-connector and confirm that apple-connector is linked to the current project through npm link. If it is not linked, run npm install in the current project.

  3. Run apple-connector skill path --json, load the returned Skill directory using this Agent's supported mechanism, and report whether that load persists beyond this session.

  4. Run apple-connector agent init --json, save its onboardingId, and say: Open the [authorization link](URL), then reply “done” here once authorization is complete. Include the remaining lifetime and replace URL with the returned local URL.

  5. Wait until I reply “done” after completing the local page.

  6. Run apple-connector agent init-status --id <onboardingId> --json. If it is configured, use the returned credential-file path only for one bounded, read-only Calendar or Reminders query; otherwise explain the pending or expired state and wait or reinitialize as appropriate.

The Agent returns a temporary local Markdown link. In that page, grant macOS access, select visible Calendar or Reminders containers, choose the profile's actions, and create the profile. Then return to the same Agent and reply “done”. It waits for that reply before checking the setup, then verifies the profile with a bounded read; empty containers are still a successful connection.

For the manual route, recovery and revocation, see Getting started, Agent installation, Skill reference, and the CLI reference.

All machine-facing commands use --json; writes require an idempotency key and a profile credential. See the v0.8 migration guide.
