24 alternatives to iMCP – Connect Your macOS Messages, Calendar, and More to Claude
Interact with all your Apple apps and data via Claude Desktop – or your favorite MCP client. MCPs are super hot right now but they're definitely still developer-grade user experiences. We built iMCP because we wanted to see what it would take to start to build a more consumer friendly experience on top of MCP. Not just connecting IDEs to databases and SaaS APIs. iMCP is open source and built entirely in Swift with our MCP Swift implementation: https://github.com/loopwork-ai/mcp-swift-sdk Tell us what you think!

Hey HN, This is an MCP server to chat with Apple Health data. I built it because I'm working on (yet another) personal trainer tool that keeps track of my workout goals, etc. and does scheduling for me. Part of that is weekly check-ins. I thought pairing those check-ins with sensor data could be useful, so here we are. It seems there isn't a way to automate access to Apple Health data, so this relies on an iOS app that can quickly/easily export key data to CSV. So the process at the moment is to export the data every Sunday before doing a check-in. More steps than I'd like, but in…

Macuse▲114What is Macuse? It's a MCP server specifically designed for macOS, providing AI assistants with deep system integration capabilities. I built it because I was frustrated that my AI could only answer questions but couldn't actually perform any actions on my Mac.

I was looking around for an MCP server that could connect Anna's Archive to Claude Desktop, as I wanted to be able to search and download books directly through the interface. I couldn't find any public implementations, so ended up building one myself. What it does? - It searches Anna's Archive by keywords. - It downloads books from search results. - It works directly in Claude Desktop through MCP. Check out the repository's README for detailed installation and configuration instructions. The code is fully open source and builds run on GitHub Actions for transparency. I figured I'd share,…

Hello! We open sourced all our current MCP servers to platforms like Slack, Google sheets, Linear, Perplexity and will be contributing a few more integrations every day to the project. problems we're hoping to solve: - Many people are creating MCP servers for the same apps. They're scattered across different repos but flavors of the same thing. We're making one standardized mono project for all MCP servers. - Startups are charging for hosting MCP servers. This is blocking tons of people from being able to play around with MCP casually. We're hosting them for free. - Non-technical people…

Multitui▲126I made Multitui to control the sandbox of coding agents easily without changing my dev environment (no special container or VM). There's no configuration required in your local dev environment... just launch ClaudeCode.app instead of claude in your general terminal. Containers and VMs can be useful, but I always have a bunch of projects going and those solutions feel heavy. Multitui creates single-purpose native macOS apps for any terminal app, with optional sandbox. It uses the built-in macOS sandbox-exec along with log monitoring to give you an easy UI to manage rules, see what's being…

FocusMode▲67I’m the solo developer of Focusmo, a macOS focus app. I just shipped v7.12, which adds a local MCP server for Claude. The goal is simple: instead of generic productivity advice, Claude can connect to real focus data and help with weekly reviews, planning, and pattern spotting. Right now Claude can access: - today’s stats - weekly trends - task list - app usage with an hourly heatmap - personal records - live session state It can also create tasks and mark tasks complete. Everything runs locally on Mac through MCP, so the data stays on-device. I wrote more about it here:…
