Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Apple Mail every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Apple Mail — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Apple Mail?

Apple Mail 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 apple-mcp-mail was installed 138 times last week.

How do I connect Apple Mail?

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 apple-mcp-mail straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Apple Mail?

The pypi package apple-mcp-mail was installed 138 times in the last week. Week over week that is -36%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Apple Mail open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 12 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
