Success with an Apple Mail MCP

A shout out to @JacobIO after today’s Tinderbox meetup. Following Jacob’s explanation, I asked Claude Desktop to create an mcp server to connect to my Apple Notes inboxes. Claude gave me a succinct list of steps along with an index.js and json file with instructions on how to use them in Terminal.

How do I use this? Here’s a typical Claude (saved) query: in tinderbox create a container “Today’s email” and create child notes for each of the apple mail messages received today and set the Start Date to the date and time of receipt and Text to the content of the incoming email

Of course I could be dragging emails directly into Tinderbox as well, but this way with Claude I can explore an automated Keyboard Maestro macro to have my overnight email waiting for me to review in Tinderbox at the start of the day.

@ptc97504, that’s really cool. I’d love to see a demo of this workflow at an upcoming meetup.
