How to connect your AI assistant to Apple Contacts

The same four steps whichever assistant you use. Each assistant also has its own page for Apple Contacts, below, with what Set up does there and how to check it worked.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy adds an icon to your menu bar and opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. They all start switched off.

  2. 2

    Switch on Contacts.

    macOS asks whether Pomeroy may access your contacts. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  3. 3

    Choose your AI assistant.

    Pomeroy lists the AI assistants it finds on this Mac. Press Set up beside yours: most take one click, and the rest take a configuration Pomeroy copies for you.

  4. 4

    Ask your assistant.

    Try “What is Priya’s mobile number?” and a real answer comes back.

Connect a specific assistant to Apple Contacts

Not here: claude.ai, ChatGPT and Grok on the web. Why.

Can my AI assistant see my Apple Contacts?

Yes. Once you switch Contacts on in Pomeroy, your assistant can search your contacts by name, organisation, email address, or a fragment of a phone number, and read back what it finds.

Can my AI assistant change my contacts?

No, never. Pomeroy has no action for creating, editing, or deleting a contact, so it cannot happen by accident or on request. Your address book is read, never written.

Is it safe to connect an AI assistant to Apple Contacts?

Pomeroy looks contacts up on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What your assistant reads becomes part of your conversation, the same as text you paste in. Contacts starts switched off, and you can switch it off again at any time. Pomeroy is an independent app, not made by Anthropic.

How does Pomeroy compare with other tools?

Other apps also connect an AI assistant to Apple Contacts, and some are free. Pomeroy is the read-mostly one, and the comparison pages set out price, coverage and maintenance for each, with the date the facts were checked: Pomeroy vs iMCP, Pomeroy vs Macuse, Pomeroy vs LMCP, apple-mcp is archived. What should you use instead?.
