# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/kiki830621/che-apple-mail-mcp.git
cd che-apple-mail-mcp
swift build -c release
# Copy to ~/bin and add to Claude Code
# --scope user : available across all projects (stored in ~/.claude.json)
# --transport stdio: local binary execution via stdin/stdout
# -- : separator between claude options and the command
mkdir -p ~/bin
cp .build/release/CheAppleMailMCP ~/bin/
claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio che-apple-mail-mcp -- ~/bin/CheAppleMailMCP
💡 Tip: Always install the binary to a local directory like
~/bin/. Avoid placing it in cloud-synced folders (Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive) as file sync operations can cause MCP connection timeouts.
Then grant Automation permission in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation.
