Messages

Overview

Messages is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you fuzzy search and browse Apple Messages and iMessage directly from the command line or through any MCP-compatible AI assistant. When integrated, the server exposes its tools to your AI assistant, which can invoke them during conversations or agent runs whenever it makes sense to search or explore your messages.

The server runs locally on your machine via the npm package @cardmagic/messages, communicating over stdio without requiring any credentials or external authentication. Version v1.2.0 is available now under the MIT license, with full source code available at cardmagic/messages on GitHub, where the project has gathered 19 stars from the community.

Messages is categorized under Communication on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others.
