Connect Cursor to iCloud
Connect Cursor to Pear's hosted MCP server so your editor can work across iCloud Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and Mail. That gives Cursor real Apple context for scheduling, TODO follow-up, contact lookup, and inbox workflows while you code.
1. Create your Pear account
Sign up at pearmcp.com, connect iCloud with an App-Specific Password, and create your Pear API key. Keep it in your local environment or password manager.
Sign Up Free2. Add the MCP config
Add Pear from Cursor's global MCP settings. Do not paste a real Pear API key into this JSON file or commit credentials into a project repository.
{
"mcpServers": {
"pear": {
"url": "https://pearmcp.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:PEAR_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}Set PEAR_API_KEY in your local user environment outside the repo, then restart Cursor.
3. Start using it
In Cursor's AI chat, try asking it to use Pear's 34 Apple tools:
- “Do I have any meetings in the next 2 hours?”
- “Create a reminder to deploy this PR by 5pm”
- “What's the email for the DevOps team lead?”
- “Schedule a code review session for Thursday afternoon”
- “Show unread iCloud Mail about the release and draft a reply with next steps.”
What Pear unlocks inside Cursor
- Read, create, reschedule, and delete calendar events without leaving the editor.
- Create reminders tied to code reviews, deployments, QA checks, and follow-ups.
- Search contacts, triage iCloud Mail, and combine those with free-time search and meeting planning.
- Use one hosted MCP endpoint instead of maintaining a custom Apple integration per project.
Why Cursor + Pear?
Developers live in their editor. With Pear connected to Cursor, you don't need to context-switch to check your calendar or set a reminder. Ask Cursor's AI about your schedule between code completions — it's like having a personal assistant built into your IDE.
