Bridges AI assistants with native macOS functionality through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
If you already use Macuse, the macuse mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Bridges AI assistants with native macOS functionality through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Give your AI direct control of Calendar, Mail, Notes, Reminders, Messages, and any other Mac app over the Model Context Protocol — an MCP server for Mac plus Computer Use for macOS, fully on-device.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Local — only.** All processing stays on your Mac. No cloud, no telemetry of your contentPer — app permissions.** Allow, deny, or one-time-approve each AI client for each app it touches. Sensitive apps like password managers and bankingWebsite — macuse.appDownload — macuse.app/downloadDocs — macuse.app/docsPricing — macuse.app/pricing — free tier with daily limits, or one-time LifetimeToolbox — What you can askCalendar — "Schedule a meeting next Tuesday at 3pm", find free time, manage eventsMail — "Draft a reply to this email", search inbox, organize messagesNotes — "Find notes mentioning the Q2 launch", capture ideas, append to notesReminders — Create tasks with due dates and priorities, mark complete, search across listsMessages — Read and send iMessages, search conversations.mcpb bundle only (bundled by Claude Desktop's runtime); the plugin has no Node dependencyThis sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Macuse's toolset — Local, Per, Website and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by macuse-app; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
