MCP support
Exposes tools to recall information from a remote Mac and save memories to Apple Notes. The tools require macOS SSH access.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm -e MACOS_USERNAME -e MACOS_PASSWORD -e MACOS_HOST buryhuang/mcp-my-apple-remembers:latestMACOS_USERNAMEMACOS_PASSWORDSecretMACOS_HOSTLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
