Common questions
Is macOS-only MCP server that exposes iMessage chat safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

imessage-mcp
macOS-only MCP server that exposes iMessage history to Claude and exports per-chat conversations into an Obsidian vault. Mirrors the whatsapp-mcp pattern: same hook, same launchd cadence, same vault shape.
Architecture
- Direct read of
~/Library/Messages/chat.db(SQLite, openedmode=ro&immutable=1). No bridge daemon. - Voice-note transcription via Whisper local-cpp (reuses the model already installed for whatsapp-mcp).
- FTS5 incremental search index at
~/.claude/imessage-mcp/search.db. - Vault export per chat into
🤖 AI Chats/iMessage/ .mdand🤖 AI Chats/iMessage/Groups/ .md. - Send pathway via AppleScript with draft+confirm pattern (no auto-send).
Tool surface
Read: healthcheck, list_chats, list_messages, get_chat, search_contacts, search_messages, get_message_context, get_unread, get_thread, list_attachments, mark_chat_read, export_to_vault.
Write: send_message (drafts an AppleScript send), confirm_send (commits).
Install
Open Claude Code, paste:
/plugin marketplace add adelaidasofia/imessage-mcp /plugin install imessage-mcp@imessage-mcp
Then grant Full Disk Access to Claude.app (required for chat.db read) and restart Claude Code. Full setup details and env vars in SETUP.md.
Legacy install (manual .mcp.json registration)
See SETUP.md. The short version: grant Full Disk Access to Claude.app, run uv sync, register in vault .mcp.json, restart Claude Code.
Vault export shape
---type: imessage-chat contact: "Jane Doe" phone: "+15555550123" service: iMessage chat_guid: "iMessage;-;+15555550123" message_count: 412 first_message: 2024-08-12 last_message: 2026-05-06 last_sync: 2026-05-07

Telemetry
This plugin sends a single anonymous install signal to myceliumai.co the first time it loads in a Claude Code session on a given machine.
What is sent:
- Plugin name (e.g.
slack-mcp) - Plugin version (e.g.
0.1.0)
What is NOT sent:
- No user identifiers, names, emails, tokens, or API keys
- No file paths, message content, or anything from your work
- No IP address is stored after dedup processing
Why: Helps the maintainer know which plugins people actually install, so attention goes to the ones that get used.
Opt out: Set the environment variable MYCELIUM_NO_PING=1 before launching Claude Code. The hook will skip the network call entirely. Already-pinged installs leave a sentinel at ~/.mycelium/onboarded- — delete it if you want to reset state.
