Homeport

Lets an AI assistant read and act on Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Notes, Messages and Shortcuts on a Mac over Tailscale.

What you can do

Homeport is a local MCP server that exposes Apple's built-in personal information apps to an AI assistant: Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Notes, Messages and Shortcuts. It runs as a local process on the user's machine and communicates over stdio, so the assistant can query and act on that data through the tools the server registers. The registry description frames it as Apple app access for AI, reachable over Tailscale.

When to use it

Worth adding when you want an assistant to work with your own Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Notes, Messages or Shortcuts on a Mac, for example to look up events, manage reminders or trigger shortcuts. It is a desktop-only, local-process server, so it suits a single Mac rather than a shared or hosted setup.

Requirements

A Mac, since it is desktop-only and runs as a local process over stdio. The manifest declares no packages, no authentication, no environment variables and no headers, so nothing else is specified; the description mentions Tailscale, which would need to be set up separately for remote access.
