Apple-MCPs

Apple-native MCP servers for macOS — turn any AI agent into what Siri should have been.

This repository provides direct, local access to core Apple apps through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your AI assistant can use structured tools to work with your data — create reminders, send messages, check calendars, search mail, manage files, get directions — while everything stays in the native apps you already use.

Everything happens on your Mac over local stdio. Your data stays in Apple's apps where it belongs. Free and open source under the MIT License.

Built on MCP specification 2026-07-28 (Python SDK 2.x) with backward compatibility for clients speaking older protocol revisions.

Servers

Apple-Tools-MCP, recommended. One unified server for Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Messages, Contacts, Notes, Shortcuts, Files, System, and Maps — plus saved defaults, per-contact routing preferences, thread-aware Mail helpers, undo support, briefing tools, and cross-app workflows.
Standalone servers when you want tighter boundaries or simpler permissions: Mail · Calendar · Reminders · Messages · Contacts · Notes · Shortcuts · Files · System · Maps

Install

Run from PyPI (uvx)

Once you have uv installed, every server runs with a one-liner — no clone, no venv management:

uvx apple-tools-mcp

Standalone servers work the same way (uvx apple-mcp-mail, uvx apple-calendar-mcp, ...).

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project apple-tools -- uvx apple-tools-mcp

Generic MCP client (stdio JSON config)

      }
    }
  }
}

See Apple-Tools-MCP/README.md for the assistant-grade safety settings recommended for daily use.

Claude Desktop (one-click bundle)

Download the .mcpb bundle for a server from Releases and double-click it — Claude Desktop installs and manages it, including configuration.

From a clone

git clone https://github.com/JonathanRReed/Apple-MCPs.git
cd Apple-MCPs
uv sync --all-packages

That builds one workspace environment with every server's entry point in .venv/bin (for example .venv/bin/apple-tools-mcp). Each server folder also has a start.sh that MCP clients can point at directly — it
