iCloud MCP server

iCloud is one connector for the Mail, Calendar and Contacts of your Apple Account, and you choose which of the three it reaches. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can search and read your mail and download an attachment, list your events and search your contacts. It can also send, reply, forward, sort and delete mail, add or remove an event and add or remove a contact, and those changes wait for your approval.

What your assistant can do in iCloud

8 tools that read and 11 that change something in iCloud. Reads are allowed; a change marked “asks first” waits for the person’s approval by default, and your workspace’s rules decide the rest.

How it connects

Sign-in

Apple lets only apps it has approved sign in with the Apple Account itself to Mail, Calendar and Contacts, so it works the way every mail and calendar app does: your iCloud address and an app-specific password you make at account.apple.com (two-factor authentication must be on). It is your own account, so each person connects their own. Flowplane keeps the password sealed; the assistant never sees it.

In Flowplane: At account.apple.com, open Sign-In and Security, App-Specific Passwords and generate one. In the Flowplane console, add iCloud and paste your iCloud address with that password, not your Apple Account password.

MCP

iCloud and MCP

Apple has no official MCP server for iCloud. There are community-built iCloud MCP servers, which you run yourself with your app-specific password. Flowplane talks to iCloud’s own mail, calendar and contacts servers directly, so there is nothing to install or host.

FAQ

Questions

Can it reach my Notes, Reminders or iCloud Drive?
No. Apple has no supported way for other apps to reach Notes, Reminders or iCloud Drive, so they are not offered. Only Mail, Calendar and Contacts are.
What does it never do without me?
Sending, replying to and forwarding mail ask first, and so does deleting an event or a contact, because that cannot be taken back. It does not change an event or contact in place and does not invite guests, which would send mail from your account.
Why did it stop working?
Changing your Apple Account password revokes every app-specific password. Make a new one and sign in again in the console.
Which AI assistants can use iCloud through Flowplane?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach iCloud through the same Flowplane address.
What does it cost?
Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.

Flowplane is not affiliated with or endorsed by iCloud’s maker; the name and logo only identify the app. Pricing
