What is the Apple Messages MCP Server?

Apple Messages is an MCP integration. Search and read Apple Messages — chats and decoded text, sending off by default.

Packages and local setup

The published npm package is @mgcrea/mcp-apple-messages, version 1.27.0. Its declared MCP transport is stdio.

The package declares APPLE_MESSAGES_ALLOW_WRITES: Register the mutating tools. Off by default, and the gate decides whether the write tools exist at all rather than merely refusing — an agent with writes off cannot see them.; APPLE_MESSAGES_ALLOW_CODES: Register apple_messages_find_codes, which reads one-time codes out of recent messages. Its own gate rather than allowWrites: it is a read, and the one read most worth an explicit decision.; APPLE_MESSAGES_ALLOW_FILE_SEND: Let apple_messages_send_message attach a local file. Off by default even with writes on, because a path argument is a way to send anything the server can read..

Before connecting

Check the maintainer’s instructions for account access, authentication and the supported client configuration. Once connected, inspect the tools your client receives and try a small task that matches the server’s stated purpose. The registry description does not include a verified, complete tool list.
