Mac Calendar MCP

Apple App MCP

Workspace for MCP servers that expose local Apple app data to assistants.

Packages

Quick Start

Install the package you want:

pipx install mac-mail-mcppipx install mac-calendar-mcp

Build local indexes for fast search:

mac-mail-mcp index --verbosemac-calendar-mcp authorizemac-calendar-mcp index

Calendar authorization installs a small helper app with a stable macOS privacy identity. Approve its Full Calendar Access prompt once so terminal, MCP, and scheduled launchd rebuilds can use EventKit consistently. EventKit runs inside that signed app identity; the Calendar MCP does not execute the helper's script through an anonymous osascript process.

Generate optional config files:

mac-mail-mcp initmac-calendar-mcp init

Index scope is configured separately from tool defaults. Use [index] settings such as Mail accounts or Calendar calendars to control what is stored locally; use [defaults] settings to control what MCP tools use when the caller omits a scope.

Codex CLI

Register one or both servers:

codex mcp add mail -- mac-mail-mcp serve --watchcodex mcp add calendar -- mac-calendar-mcp serve --watch

Confirm the registrations:

codex mcp listcodex mcp get mailcodex mcp get calendar

Claude Code

Create or edit .mcp.json in your project root:

{  "mcpServers": {    "mail": {      "command": "mac-mail-mcp",      "args": ["serve", "--watch"]    },    "calendar": {      "command": "mac-calendar-mcp",      "args": ["serve", "--watch"]    }  }}

Watch mode keeps the indexes current while the MCP servers are running. Mail uses file watching; Calendar performs a startup sync and then refreshes when Calendar's local SQLite database files change.

For global Claude Code configuration, put the same mcpServers object in ~/.claude/mcp.json.

Development

This repository is organized as a uv workspace. Each MCP server lives under packages/ with its own package metadata, source, tests, and README.

Documentation

• Shared agent instructions: AGENTS.md
• Mail domain notes: MAIL.md
• Calendar domain notes: CALENDAR.md
• MCP client setup guide: docs/mcp-client-setup.md
• Calendar implementation plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-30-mac-calendar-mcp-implementation.md

Docs are deployed with GitHub Pages from .github/workflows/docs.yml. The repository must have Pages configured once in Settings -> Pages -> Build and deployment -> Source: GitHub Actions. The workflow deploys the built artifact; it does not try to create or enable the Pages site because GitHub rejects that operation from the default workflow token in some repositories.
