# Pear MCP overview

Pear MCP exposes hosted read and write tools for productivity apps through the Model Context Protocol. Each connected AI client controls which tools are available and invoked according to its plan, workspace policy, permissions, and confirmation settings.

Pear is built for agents that need to finish work, not only summarize it. A connected assistant can work with Calendar, Tasks/Reminders, Contacts, Mail, scheduling, and batch workflows.

## Provider support

Pear supports Apple iCloud and Microsoft 365 today.

Apple iCloud support covers:

- Calendar events and availability.
- Legacy reminder data Apple still exposes through CalDAV. Pear's hosted connection cannot access Apple's upgraded Reminders store.
- Contacts and contact groups.
- iCloud Mail read, send, move, and delete flows.

Apple can return CalDAV compatibility tombstones instead of current reminders after the
account has upgraded. Reconnecting or replacing an App-Specific Password cannot change
that protocol boundary. Microsoft To Do is unaffected. Full modern Apple Reminders
access would require an Apple-platform EventKit companion with user permission, which
Pear does not currently provide. See [Apple Reminders compatibility](./apple-reminders-compatibility.md).

Microsoft 365 support covers:

- Microsoft 365 Calendar.
- Microsoft To Do.
- Contacts.
- Outlook Mail read, draft, send, search, and organize flows.

Google support is coming soon for Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Tasks, and Google Contacts. Mail-only compatible IMAP/SMTP mailbox support is available as a beta when enabled.

## Compatible AI clients

Pear publishes setup guides for ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Grok Build, Codex, Hermes
Agent, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Poke, OpenClaw, Claude Code, VS Code with GitHub
Copilot, Gemini CLI, and Continue. Follow the matching guide for the client's
authentication method, plan or workspace requirements, and permission limits.

Some clients use Pear OAuth. Some clients use a `pear_sk_...` Bearer API key. OpenClaw currently uses a separate `ashtonau/pear-apple` skill.
