iMCP

iMCP is a small Mac menu-bar app that opens up Apple's built-in apps to Claude. Ask "what time did Mum say dinner was?", "add a reminder to call the accountant on Friday" or "find the note with the Wi-Fi password" and Claude checks your actual Messages, Reminders and Notes.

You choose which services to share by clicking their icons in the app, and macOS asks permission for each one. It doesn't collect your data itself, but whatever Claude reads is sent to Claude like anything else you share.

It reads Messages but doesn't send them. If you want Claude Code to read and send iMessages, Claude Code's own iMessage plugin does that.

• Read your Messages history with a person over a date range
• Look up contacts by name, phone or email
• Create calendar events and reminders, and check what's coming up
• Search Apple Notes and Mail on your Mac
• Run your Shortcuts and check maps, travel times and weather

Open your terminal (the text window where you run Claude Code) in your project folder, then paste this command to connect it:

claude mcp add --scope user iMCP -- /Applications/iMCP.app/Contents/MacOS/imcp-server

Other ways to set it up:

# Install the app first, then open it and click each service you want to share:
brew install --cask mattt/tap/iMCP
# Or download it from https://imcp.app/download
