Apple MCP tools provide Apple-native capabilities for the MCP protocol, enabling you to automate and integrate Apple apps like Messages, Notes, Contacts, Reminders, Calendar, and more through a centralized MCP client workflow. This lets you perform common tasks, orchestrate multi-step actions, and streamline repetitive actions across Apple apps via scripted commands.

How to use

You interact with the Apple MCP server through an MCP client. Start by configuring one or more local MCP endpoints that point to the Apple MCP tool you want to run. Once configured, you can ask your MCP client to perform practical workflows such as sending a message, creating reminders, or locating calendar events. You can also chain commands to create end-to-end workflows, for example reading a note, extracting contacts, and sending a follow-up message.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: a macOS environment with Homebrew and Bun installed, and Node-based tooling available for MCP client integration.

# Optional: install Bun if you do not have it
# Bun is used to run the Apple MCP tool bundles
brew install oven-sh/bun/bun

# Quick install path via Smithery (recommended for Claude Desktop and Cursor integrations)
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @Dhravya/apple-mcp --client claude

# Optional second client for cursor workflows
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @Dhravya/apple-mcp --client cursor

Manual installation

If you prefer a local, self-contained setup, install Bun and configure Claude Desktop to use the local MCP endpoint.

.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apple-mcp": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["@dhravya/apple-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Usage examples

Ask Claude to perform common tasks using the configured apple-mcp server. Examples include sending messages, managing notes, creating reminders, and working with calendar events.
