Connect Claude to your Apple apps
Four steps, done once. After that it works from every device you use Claude on.
What you need
- An Apple ID that uses iCloud Calendar. Two-factor authentication must be on, which is the default.
- A Claude plan that lets you add custom connectors.
- Optional: a Mac, if you also want Reminders and Notes.
Once set up, it works in Claude everywhere:
- claude.ai in any browser
- Claude for Mac & Windows
- Claude for iPhone
- Claude for iPad

Create your free account
Sign up with your email (we’ll send a code to verify it). This is the account you’ll use to approve Claude later.

Connect your Apple account
On your dashboard, pick one or both of these:
iCloud Calendar
Recommended · no Mac needed- Go to account.apple.com, sign in, and open Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords. This works from any device, including your iPhone.
- Click +, name it Claude, and copy the password it shows (like
abcd-efgh-ijkl-mnop). - On your dashboard, enter your Apple ID email and that password, then click Connect iCloud Calendar.
An app-specific password can’t sign in to your Apple ID or change your account. You can revoke it anytime at account.apple.com.
Mac helper
Optional · adds Reminders & NotesApple doesn’t offer an online way in to Reminders or Notes, so these go through a small helper on a Mac signed in to your iCloud. Changes still sync to your iPhone and iPad as usual.
- On the Mac, open your dashboard, click Get install command, then Copy.
- Open Terminal: press ⌘ + Space, type Terminal, and press Return. Paste the command and press Return.
- Click OK each time your Mac asks whether “osascript” may control Calendar, Reminders and Notes.

Add the connector in Claude
- Open Claude at claude.ai or in the desktop app, then go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Name it RezPointMCP and paste this URL:
https://mcp.rezpoint.xyz/api/mcp - Click Add, then Connect. A window opens: sign in with the account from step 1 and click Allow.
You only add it once. It then appears in Claude on your iPhone and iPad too, under the same Claude account.

Try it
Start a new chat, make sure the RezPointMCP connector is switched on in the tools menu, then ask something like:
- “What’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
- “Add lunch with Sam on Friday at noon and remind me Thursday to book a table.”
- “Move my dentist appointment to Thursday at 4pm.”
- With the Mac helper: “Which reminders are overdue? Mark the grocery one as done.”
Troubleshooting
Does it work on my iPhone and iPad?
Yes. Add the connector once, and it works in the Claude app on iPhone and iPad too. With iCloud Calendar connected, calendar requests go straight to iCloud and don’t need a Mac at all.
Why do Reminders and Notes need a Mac?
Apple syncs Reminders and Notes through a private system with no public access for other apps. A Mac signed in to your iCloud can change them locally, and iCloud then syncs the changes to your other devices. Calendar uses the open CalDAV standard, so it can connect directly.
iCloud says my password is wrong
Use an app-specific password from account.apple.com, not your normal Apple ID password. Make sure the email is your Apple ID. If you recently revoked the password, create a new one and reconnect.
What happens to Reminders and Notes when my Mac is off?
Your changes wait in a queue and run automatically, in order, a few seconds after your Mac is back online. On the Free plan they wait up to 24 hours; on Pro they wait until your Mac is back, however long that takes.
You can change waiting items before they run. Ask Claude “what’s on my list?” and it shows what’s queued; then say, for example, “make that 6am reminder 7am” and it edits the waiting change instead of adding a second one. You can also cancel waiting changes from your dashboard. Calendar isn’t affected if you connected iCloud.
I clicked “Don’t Allow” on a permission prompt
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation, find osascript, and switch on Calendar, Reminders and Notes.
I don’t see “Add custom connector” in Claude
Custom connectors depend on your Claude plan. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner may need to add the connector for the organization first.
Moving to a new Mac
Click Get install command on your dashboard again and run it on the new Mac. The old Mac is disconnected automatically.
How do I uninstall?
Run this in Terminal on your Mac, then remove the connector in Claude’s settings:
curl -fsSL https://mcp.rezpoint.xyz/agent/uninstall.sh | bashWhat data do you keep?
Your email (sign-in itself is handled by Clerk), your time zone, and, if you connect iCloud, your Apple ID email and an encrypted app-specific password. Calendar requests are sent to iCloud as Claude makes them and aren’t stored. Requests for the Mac helper wait in a short queue and are deleted after 7 days. Your calendars, reminders and notes stay in your iCloud account.
