Apple Mail MCP
If you use Apple Mail on macOS and want Claude to handle your inbox, this is your only option. Gmail and Outlook have APIs; iCloud doesn't. This server bridges the gap with AppleScript, giving Claude read, search, compose, reply, move, flag, and delete access to any account synced through Mail. Message references use stable RFC 2822 IDs rather than fragile integer indexes. An optional MailKit extension pushes real-time new-mail events over localhost HTTP. Ships with a five-agent review skill that catches slop, grammar issues, and passive voice before Claude opens a draft. Requires macOS, Mail.app running, and granting automation permission on first use.

The only way to give Claude (or any LLM) access to Apple Mail and iCloud.
Gmail and Outlook have APIs. iCloud doesn't. If you're a Mac user whose email lives in Apple Mail — iCloud, iCloud+, or any account synced through it — there's no web API an LLM can call. This server bridges that gap using AppleScript on your local machine.
It gives Claude full control over Apple Mail: read, search, compose, reply, move, flag, and delete messages using natural language, against your real inbox, with no cloud intermediary.
Built on AppleScript via osascript, with an optional MailKit extension for real-time new-mail events.
