Apple MCP enables AI assistants to control and interact with native Apple applications on macOS, including Messages, Notes, Contacts, Mail, Reminders, Calendar, and Maps. The server provides tools for sending and scheduling messages and emails, creating and searching notes and reminders, managing contacts, and handling calendar events and location-based tasks. This integration solves the problem of AI assistants being isolated from a user's personal Mac ecosystem, allowing them to perform practical actions like sending messages, managing schedules, and retrieving information directly from Apple apps.
Plot twist: Your Mac can do more than just look pretty. Turn your Apple apps into AI superpowers!

Basically everything you wish your Mac could do automatically (but never bothered to set up):
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.
npx -y install-mcp apple-mcp --client claude
For Cursor users (we see you):
npx -y install-mcp apple-mcp --client cursor
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"]
}
}
}
