How to connect claude code to apple contacts

Pomeroy lists the assistants it finds on this Mac, so install Claude Code first if it is not there yet.

  1. 1

    Download Pomeroy and switch on Apple Contacts.

    Open the download, drag Pomeroy into Applications, and open it. Pomeroy opens a setup window listing every app it can connect. macOS asks whether Pomeroy may access your contacts. The prompt names Pomeroy, and nothing is requested until you flip the toggle.

  2. 2

    Press Set up beside Claude Code.

    Pomeroy runs Claude Code's own claude mcp add command with user scope, so Pomeroy is available in every project rather than one folder. If the claude command is not where Pomeroy can find it, Pomeroy adds the same entry to Claude Code's configuration file instead.

  3. 3

    Check Claude Code.

    Run claude mcp list in the Terminal and pomeroy is listed. Inside a session, /mcp shows it connected, with its tools. Start a new Claude Code session.

  4. 4

    Ask Claude Code something.

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

The configuration, in full

Set up writes it for you. The documentation has the exact text, where it goes, and how to check it worked.

Can Claude Code see my Apple Contacts?

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

Can Claude Code 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 Claude Code to Apple Contacts?

Pomeroy looks contacts up on your Mac and sends nothing to a Pomeroy server. What Claude Code 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.

Claude Code does not show Pomeroy's tools.

Start a new Claude Code session; a running one keeps the tool list it started with. Then press Set up again in Pomeroy, under Settings › Assistants: every way Pomeroy sets an assistant up is safe to run twice. Pomeroy's menu bar shows whether Claude Code is connected right now.
