What it connects
Apple Core is a signed and notarized menu bar app that serves 77 tools across Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Location, Maps, Messages, Capture, Shortcuts, Notes, and Mail. Local clients connect over authenticated HTTP, with a bundled bridge for clients that still require standard input and output.
The controls
Each service has its own enable switch and another switch for remote access. Remote access is off by default and always requires authentication. It can run through an optional Cloudflare Tunnel with bearer authentication or OAuth 2.1 with PKCE.
How it started
Apple Core began as a hard fork of iMCP. I expanded its Notes and Mail tools, then replaced the original network transport with the serving approach from Bridgeport. The repository keeps the upstream licenses and documents each design it borrowed.
