Intro

Mac Messages MCP is a Python MCP server for Messages.app on macOS: read chats, send replies, search attachments, and fall back to SMS/RCS.

  • Best for: Personal agent workflows on macOS (triage, summaries, replies) for your own messages
  • Works with: macOS 11+; Python 3.10+; uv/uvx; Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP support (per README)
  • Setup time: 10–25 minutes (plus macOS permissions)

Practical Notes

  • GitHub: 280 stars · 22 forks; pushed 2026-05-10 (verified via GitHub API).
  • README requires Full Disk Access so the server can read the local Messages database.
  • README documents progressive attachment access (discover → search → fetch) to reduce accidental data exposure.

Main

Use it responsibly:

  • Only connect it on a machine you control, and treat conversation data as sensitive.
  • Prefer read-only tools for dashboards and summaries; gate “send” behind an explicit confirmation step.
  • If you run both Cursor and Claude Desktop, follow README guidance: run only one server instance to avoid database locks.

This turns iMessage/SMS into a real agent channel while keeping a human in the loop for outbound actions.

FAQ

Q: Why does it need Full Disk Access? A: README says it reads the local Messages database, which macOS protects behind Full Disk Access.

Q: Can it send SMS to Android users? A: README says it automatically chooses iMessage or SMS/RCS based on recipient availability.

Q: How do I reduce privacy risk? A: Use progressive disclosure for attachments and require confirmation before sending messages.
