🀯 What Can This Thing Do?

Basically everything you wish your Mac could do automatically (but never bothered to set up):

πŸ’¬ 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)

πŸ“ Notes - Your brain's external hard drive

  • Create notes faster than you can forget why you needed them
  • Search through that digital mess you call "organized notes"
  • Actually find that brilliant idea you wrote down 3 months ago

πŸ‘₯ 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

πŸ“§ Mail - Email like a pro (or at least pretend to)

  • Send emails with attachments, CC, BCC - the whole professional shebang
  • Search through your email chaos with surgical precision
  • Schedule emails for later (because 3 AM ideas shouldn't be sent at 3 AM)
  • Check unread counts (prepare for existential dread)

⏰ Reminders - For humans with human memory

  • Create reminders with due dates (finally remember to do things)
  • Search through your reminder graveyard
  • List everything you've been putting off
  • Open specific reminders (face your procrastination)

πŸ“… 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)

πŸ—ΊοΈ 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.

πŸš€ Installation (The Easy Way)

Option 1: Smithery (For the Sophisticated)

bash
npx -y install-mcp apple-mcp --client claude

For Cursor users (we see you):

bash
npx -y install-mcp apple-mcp --client cursor

Option 2: Manual Setup (For the Brave)

First, get bun (if you don't have it already):

bash
brew install oven-sh/bun/bun

Then add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-mcp": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["--no-cache", "apple-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

(Yes, it's actually as cool as it sounds)

🎯 Example Commands That'll Blow Your Mind

"Send a message to mom saying I'll be late for dinner"
"Find all my AI research notes and email them to sarah@company.com"
"Create a reminder to call the dentist tomorrow at 2pm"
"Show me my calendar for next week and create an event for coffee with Alex on Friday"
"Find the nearest pizza place and save it to my favorites"

πŸ› οΈ Local Development (For the Tinkerers)

bash
git clone https://github.com/dhravya/apple-mcp.git
cd apple-mcp
bun install
bun run index.ts

Now go forth and automate your digital life! πŸš€
