🤯 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.

Operation	What it does
search	Find notes by keyword in title or body (optional folderName)
list	List notes across all folders, or filter with folderName
folders	List all Notes folders
read	Read full note body by noteId or title + optional folderName
create	Create a note (auto-creates folder if missing)
update	Replace entire note body
append	Append text to an existing note (use \n for line breaks)
delete	Delete a note
open	Open a note in the Notes app

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.

Operation	What it does
overview	Inbox dashboard — unread counts, recent unread, mailbox breakdown, top senders
unread / search / latest	List and find messages (SQLite index, ~50ms)
read / open	Read full body from .emlx or open in Mail.app
draft	Create a new draft (saved for review, not auto-sent)
reply / forward	Create reply or forward drafts from a message ID
move	Move messages to a mailbox (Archive, project folders, etc.)
markRead	Mark messages read or unread in batch (max 20 IDs)
senders	Top senders analytics — spot newsletter overload
accounts / mailboxes / stats	Account and mailbox discovery

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.

Operation	What it does
lists / list	List all reminder lists
show	Show reminders by filter: today, tomorrow, week, overdue, upcoming, completed, all, or a date
search	Search reminder titles and notes
info	Get full details for a reminder by ID
create	Create a reminder (remindctl preferred; AppleScript fallback)
edit	Update title, notes, due date, list, or priority
complete	Mark one or more reminders complete by ID
delete	Delete reminders by ID
createList	Create a new reminder list
open	Open a reminder, list, or the Reminders app
status	Check remindctl install and permission status

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)

<details> <summary>Click if you're feeling adventurous</summary>

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"]
    }
  }
}

</details>
