Connect your iCloud Mail email to Claude & ChatGPT

iCloud Mail speaks standard IMAP, including for custom domains on iCloud+, but Apple only hands third-party apps an app-specific password, never OAuth. That is why no assistant ships an iCloud connector. anymailmcp.com bridges your iCloud inbox and calendar in about a minute.

Before you connect

What you need

An app-specific password

Sign in at account.apple.com, open Sign-In and Security, choose App-Specific Passwords and create one (call it anymailmcp). Your regular Apple ID password never works over IMAP, by Apple design.

Your iCloud address

Works with @icloud.com, @me.com, @mac.com and custom domains hosted on iCloud+. The username is your full address.

iCloud Mail works best with a revocable app password.

Under the hood

Server settings we auto-fill

You never type these. We detect them from your address and verify them live against iCloud’s servers — they’re here for the curious.

Server settings
IMAP
imap.mail.me.com:993
SMTP
smtp.mail.me.com:587
Encryption
SSL/TLS
Calendar: yes

Apple exposes iCloud Calendar over CalDAV with the same app-specific password. We discover it when you connect, so your assistant can read your agenda and create events.
