💬 MessagesBridge

Use your iMessage & Contacts inside ChatGPT — through your own Mac.

MessagesBridge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that lets ChatGPT work with your iMessage conversations and Contacts. It never uploads your messages to a third party — every action runs on your own Mac through a tiny local agent. The cloud piece is only a stateless relay that shuttles requests between ChatGPT and your Mac.

ChatGPT  ──OAuth──►  MessagesBridge relay  ──job queue──►  apple-messages-agent  ──►  Messages.app + Contacts
 (connector)          (Vercel, stateless)      (your Mac, polls & executes)        (on your Mac)

Your Mac is the only place your messages are ever read or contacts written. The relay stores only short-lived job payloads and your account record; it never sees a message unless a job is in flight, and jobs expire in seconds.

For users — 3 steps

1. Create your account at messagesbridge.vercel.app and generate a pairing code.

2. Install the Mac agent (needs Node 18+):

npx apple-messages-agent pair <YOUR-CODE>   # link this Mac to your account
npx apple-messages-agent install            # keep it running on every restart

The agent needs two macOS permissions, granted once: Full Disk Access so it can read your message history (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access), and Automation the first time it sends a message or reads Contacts — macOS asks "Terminal wants to control Messages" and to access Contacts; click OK.

3. Connect ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → turn on Developer mode (Security & login) → Create a custom plugin → paste the MCP Server URL https://messagesbridge.vercel.app/mcp → Authentication OAuth → sign in & Allow.

That's it. In a new chat: "Search my messages for the dinner plans" or "Text Sarah that I'm running 10 minutes late." (You confirm every send before it goes out.)

Your Mac must be awake with the agent running. npx apple-messages-agent install makes it start automatically at login and restart if it ever crashes.

Managing the agent

npx apple-messages-agent status      # is it paired & reachable?
npx apple-messages-agent logs        # recent activity
npx apple-messages-agent uninstall   # stop auto-start

What ChatGPT can do

Reads come first; the only write tools are sendmessage and createcontact, and each is confirmed by you in ChatGPT before it runs. Sends always go to one recipient at a time — never in bulk.

Self-hosting

You can run your own relay so nothing depends on the hosted instance.

Prereqs: a Vercel account and a Supabase project (free tiers are fine).

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
