Frequently asked questions

What is the iMessage MCP server?

The iMessage MCP server is an Communication Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents query and analyze iMessage conversations. It exposes iMessage's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install iMessage MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install imessage` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y mac-messages-mcp` and restarting Claude Code.

Is iMessage MCP free?

Yes. The iMessage MCP server is free and open source. You may still need a iMessage account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does iMessage MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
