What the code does

We read the source, 2 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

        with open(os.path.expanduser("~/Library/LaunchAgents/%s.plist" % AGENT_LABEL), "rb") as f:
        proc = subprocess.run(build_command(op, clean), stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, timeout=timeout)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add icloud-mcp -- uvx icloud-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icloud-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "icloud-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.icloud-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["icloud-mcp-server"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icloud-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "icloud-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icloud-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "icloud-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ICLOUD_USERNAME (Your Apple Account email.), ICLOUD_APP_PASSWORD (An app-specific password from account.apple.com (not your Apple password).), ICLOUD_DISPLAY_NAME (Name shown on mail you send.), DEFAULT_TIMEZONE (IANA timezone for calendar times, e.g. Europe/Berlin.), SEND_REQUIRES_APPROVAL (true: mail Claude sends is saved to Drafts for you to send. false: sent directly.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

iCloud — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for iCloud?
iCloud runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package icloud-mcp-server.
How do I connect iCloud?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls icloud-mcp-server straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is iCloud open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
