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.

PLIST="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/$LABEL.plist"
    return subprocess.run(["git", *args], capture_output=True, text=True, check=True).stdout
                let process = Process()
Executes code built at runtime dev/bench.py:112
            wrap(__import__(mod).Session, "request", "caldav_requests")
Builds a database query by concatenation src/icloud_mcp/dashboard.py:892
                + row("Emptying Trash", value("Allowed" if s.allow_permanent_delete else "Off"))
                + row("Time zone", value(s.default_timezone)) + "</div>")

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.

Put your own values in place of <ICLOUD_USERNAME> (Your Apple Account email), <ICLOUD_APP_PASSWORD> (An app-specific password from account.apple.com (not your Apple password)). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: 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), AGENT_NOTES_FILE (Path to a file with your own rules for agents, added to the instructions), OWNER_ADDRESSES (Your aliases, comma-separated, so invitations to them count as yours), WARMUP_ON_START (Sign in to mail, calendar and contacts in the background at start), TOOL_WORKERS (Tool calls that can run at the same time).

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 was installed 234 times last week.
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 in the form 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.
How many people use iCloud?
The pypi package icloud-mcp-server was installed 234 times in the last week. Week over week that is +19%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is iCloud open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 7 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.
