My Apple Remembers MCP Server

Connect My Apple Remembers to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. A lightweight MCP server that integrates with Apple Notes to create a personal memory system for AI. Easily recall and save information from your Mac using simple AppleScript commands. Compatible with all macOS versions with minimal setup. The my apple remembers mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

You can configure Claude Desktop to use the Docker image by adding the following to your Claude configuration: json { "mcpServers": { "my-apple-remembers": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "-e", "MACOS_USERNAME=your_macos_username", "-e", "MACOS_PASSWORD=your_macos_password", "-e", "MACOS_HOST=localhost", "--rm", "buryhuang/mcp-my-apple-remembers:latest" ] } } }

• Memory Recall — Access notes, calendar events, messages, files and other information from your Mac
• Memory Persistence — Save important information to Apple Notes for future reference
• Minimal Setup — Just enable Remote Login on the target Mac
• Universal Compatibility — Works with all macOS versions

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

• my_apple_recall_memory — Run AppleScript commands on a remote macOS system to recall memories. This tool helps access Apple Notes, Calendar events, iMessages, chat history
• my_apple_save_memory — Run AppleScript commands on a remote macOS system to save important information. This tool allows AI to persist relevant information to Apple Notes

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: MACOS_HOST. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Installation

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.

Where it fits

This sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. My Apple Remembers's toolset — my_apple_recall_memory, my_apple_save_memory — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by baryhuang; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Worth knowing first

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
