Nothing serious here today

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

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.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add icloud-mcp -- uvx icloud-mail-mcp

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icloud-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "icloud-mail-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.icloud-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["icloud-mail-mcp"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icloud-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "icloud-mail-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icloud-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "icloud-mail-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ICLOUD_EMAIL (Your iCloud address, for example [email protected].), ICLOUD_APP_PASSWORD (An app-specific password generated at account.apple.com. iCloud rejects your main password over IMAP.), ICLOUD_DISPLAY_NAME (Name shown in the From header of sent mail. Defaults to the local part of the address.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

iCloud Mail — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for iCloud Mail?

iCloud 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 icloud-mail-mcp.

How do I connect iCloud 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 icloud-mail-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is iCloud Mail open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 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.
