Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nico-apple-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview

Nico Apple MCP is a single MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes 21 tools for macOS Apple apps (Calendar, Notes, Contacts) via AppleScript, JXA, and EventKit. It uses Bun as its runtime, package manager, and test runner.

Prerequisites

  • Bun is the required runtime (not Node.js). It is installed to ~/.bun/bin/bun. Ensure $HOME/.bun/bin is on PATH.
  • The project uses bun.lock — always use bun install (not npm/yarn/pnpm).

Key commands

See package.json scripts for the full list. Summary:

Task Command
Install deps bun install
Type check bun run typecheck
Run tests bun run test (runs typecheck first, then bun test)
Start server bun run src/index.ts
Build Swift helper bun run build:swift (requires macOS + swiftc)

Linux / Cloud Agent caveats

  • macOS-only tools: osascript (AppleScript/JXA) and swiftc (EventKit helper) are unavailable on Linux. Tools that call these will return errors at runtime, which is expected.
  • Tests should pass on Linux: Validation, module structure, dry-run handler, and startup tests avoid native macOS APIs. Do not hard-code the test count in docs; use the current bun run test output.
  • MCP server starts on Linux: The stdio-transport server starts and responds to JSON-RPC messages. Use printf '<JSON-RPC>\n' | bun run src/index.ts to interact with it.
  • build:swift will fail on Linux: Skip this step in non-macOS environments.

Testing the MCP server interactively

The server uses stdio transport. To test manually, pipe newline-delimited JSON-RPC messages:

printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0.0"}}}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}\n' | bun run src/index.ts

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
