Reach Apple PIM data (Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Messages, Location, Maps, Weather) from a pi session via iMCP + pi-mcp-adapter on macOS. Use when the user asks to read/search their Apple Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, iMessages, current Location, Maps, or Weather. Does NOT cover Apple Mail — iMCP exposes no Mail service; use apple-mail-fast-export for email.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Access Apple personal-information-management data on macOS through
iMCP, a menu-bar app that brokers the OS
permission grants, reached over MCP by pi-mcp-adapter.
Calendar · Contacts · Location · Maps · Messages · Reminders · Weather
If the user asks to read, search, or summarize Apple Mail / email:
apple-mail-fast-export skill instead — it exports .eml files
directly from the on-disk Apple Mail store."Messages" satisfying an email request is a category error: Messages is iMessage/SMS only.
The agent reaches iMCP tools through pi-mcp-adapter, not by spawning the
server. Do not run imcp-server directly. Use the adapter's MCP tool
surface (search the available tools, then invoke).
This skill runs the installer's --check traversal on load (one sw_vers plus
a few stat calls; short-circuits instantly on non-macOS). If iMCP is not
provisioned it reports the gap and names the fix:
pi-apple-tools-install
Terminal states mirror the CLI and the dashboard panel:
UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM, OS_VERSION_UNKNOWN, OS_TOO_OLD, NO_INSTALL_METHOD,
INSTALL_FAILED, CONFIG_UNPARSEABLE, CONFIG_WRITE_FAILED,
READY_PENDING_GRANTS.
READY is NOT one of them. It is a live-access result — reachable only by a
successful tool round-trip through the adapter, never by the provisioning
traversal, which cannot know whether the TCC grants were given.
If the state is anything other than READY_PENDING_GRANTS, do NOT attempt
Apple-data tool calls — report the gap and the pi-apple-tools-install
command first.
The final step — granting Calendar/Contacts/… permissions — happens in the iMCP menu-bar app and cannot be automated (Apple's TCC security model has no API).

Does NOT cover Apple Mail — iMCP exposes no Mail service; use apple-mail-fast-export for email. --- # apple-tools (iMCP) Access Apple personal-information-management data on **macOS** through [iMCP](https://github.com/mattt/iMCP), a menu-bar app that brokers the OS permission grants, reached over MCP by `pi-mcp-adapter`. ## Reachable services (seven) Calendar · Contacts · Location · Maps · Messages · Reminders · Weather - **Messages** here means **iMessage / SMS** — it is NOT email. - There is **no Mail service**. iMCP exposes no Apple Mail access. ## Mail is out of scope — redirect If the user asks to read, search, or summarize **Apple Mail / email**: - iMCP exposes **no Mail service**; do not attempt an iMCP/adapter tool call for Mail. - Use the **`apple-mail-fast-export`** skill instead — it exports `.eml` files directly from the on-disk Apple Mail store. "Messages" satisfying an email request is a category error: Messages is iMessage/SMS only. ## Access pattern — search then invoke via the adapter The agent reaches iMCP tools through **`pi-mcp-adapter`**, not by spawning the server. Do **not** run `imcp-server` directly. Use the adapter's MCP tool surface (search the available tools, then invoke). ## Provisioning check (run at load) This skill runs the installer's `--check` traversal on load (one `sw_vers` plus a few `stat` calls; short-circuits instantly on non-macOS). If iMCP is not provisioned it reports the gap and names the fix: ``` pi-apple-tools-install ``` Terminal states mirror the CLI and the dashboard panel: `UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM`, `OS_VERSION_UNKNOWN`, `OS_TOO_OLD`, `NO_INSTALL_METHOD`, `INSTALL_FAILED`, `CONFIG_UNPARSEABLE`, `CONFIG_WRITE_FAILED`, `READY_PENDING_GRANTS`. `READY` is NOT one of them. It is a live-access result — reachable only by a successful tool round-trip through the adapter, never by the provisioning traversal, which cannot know whether the TCC grants were given. If the state is anything other than `READY_PENDING_GRANTS`, do NOT attempt Apple-data tool calls — report the gap and the `pi-apple-tools-install` command first. ## Permission grants are manual and out-of-band The final step — granting Calendar/Contacts/… permissions — happens in the **iMCP menu-bar app** and **cannot be automated** (Apple's TCC security model has no API). - The load-time check **cannot detect a revoked grant** ahead of a call. - A permission-class failure at call time means the grant was **revoked or never given** → the fix is **menu-bar remediation**, NOT re-running the installer. Re-running `pi-apple-tools-install` will not restore a TCC grant.
