This comprehensive MCP server provides seamless integration with Apple's native applications, allowing AI assistants to interact with your messaging, notes, contacts, emails, reminders, calendar, web search, and maps functionality.
The easiest way to install Apple MCP for Claude Desktop:
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @Dhravya/apple-mcp --client claude
For Cursor integration:
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @Dhravya/apple-mcp --client cursor
If you prefer to install manually:
brew install oven-sh/bun/bun
claude_desktop_config.json file by adding:{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-mcp": {
"command": "bunx",
"args": ["@dhravya/apple-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
After installation, you can ask Claude to perform various actions using your Apple native applications. Here are examples for each supported feature:
Send messages to your contacts:

List and search through your Apple Notes:

You can combine multiple commands to create workflows:

This will sequentially perform multiple actions: read your note, find contacts, and send messages to them.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-rules-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"cursor-rules-mcp"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
