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.
