Setup (local)
uv run imessage-mcp
Requires macOS with Messages.app and Full Disk Access for the terminal process.
Claude Code config (local)
{
"mcpServers": {
"imessage": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "/path/to/imessage-mcp", "run", "imessage-mcp"]
}
}
}
Claude Code config (remote via SSH)
From any device on the Tailscale network:
{
"mcpServers": {
"imessage": {
"command": "ssh",
"args": [
"mba-server",
"/Users/viraat/.local/bin/uv --directory /Users/viraat/Documents/imessage-mcp run imessage-mcp"
]
}
}
}
This pipes MCP stdio through SSH — the server runs on the Mac, reads chat.db, and sends via AppleScript.
