Apple

Turn your Mac into an automated assistant that can handle Messages, Notes, Contacts, Mail, Reminders, Calendar, and Maps with a single, powerful MCP server you run locally. It lets you describe what you want to do in plain language, and it will perform the right actions across your apps, often chaining multiple steps together for truly automatic workflows.

How to use

You run a local MCP server on your machine and connect to it with an MCP client. Describe what you want in natural language, and the client will send your request to the server. The server can read messages, manage notes, find contacts, send emails, create reminders, handle calendar events, and work with maps. You can chain several actions in one go, for example: “Read my conference notes, find contacts for the people I met, and send them a thank you message.” The system breaks that into the needed steps and executes them across your apps.

What you can do with the Apple MCP server

• Messages: send, read, and schedule messages to people in your contacts.

• Notes: create notes, search within notes, and retrieve ideas you noted earlier.

• Contacts: locate people quickly, retrieve phone numbers, and use your contact database efficiently.

• Mail: compose messages with attachments, search emails, schedule sends, and check unread counts.

• Reminders: create reminders with due dates, search, list overdue items, and open specific reminders.

• Calendar: create events, search for meetings, list upcoming events, and open event details.

• Maps: search locations, save favorites, get directions, create guides, and drop pins.

Chaining commands

You can combine multiple actions into a single command. For example: “Read my conference notes, find contacts for the people I met, and send them a thank you message.” The server coordinates the steps across Messages, Contacts, and Mail automatically.
