orchard

# Orchard Orchard is a local macOS CLI and stdio MCP server for Apple Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, and Shortcuts. It uses Apple-supported local surfaces only: - EventKit for Reminders and Calendar - Contacts for read-only Contacts access - `/usr/bin/shortcuts` for Shortcuts - stdio MCP for Codex and Claude Code client-owned launch/teardown No Notes, Mail, Messages, Photos, private databases, broad AppleScript control, HTTP listener, daemon, or background service is included. ## Development ```bash swift test swift run orchard --help swift run orchard auth status ``` ## MCP `orchard-mcp` is stdio-only. Configure Codex or Claude Code to launch it as a child process. Do not run it as a daemon. See `docs/agent-configs/` for example client configuration. ## Homebrew The Homebrew tap is `ProjectProgramAMark/orchard`, backed by the public GitHub repo `ProjectProgramAMark/orchard`. ```bash brew tap ProjectProgramAMark/orchard git@github.com:ProjectProgramAMark/orchard.git brew install ProjectProgramAMark/orchard/orchard ``` Because this tap uses a non-`homebrew-` repo name, include the repo URL when tapping it the first time. There is also an unrelated public Homebrew cask named `orchard`, so use the tap-qualified formula name when installing or upgrading.
