## Tools

8 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `apple_contacts_who_is` — Identify a person from a name, a phone number or an email address, reporting honestly when the address book cannot say. Read-only.
- `apple_contacts_diagnostics` — Report which Contacts stores were opened, how many contacts each holds, and what this server cannot do. Start here when a lookup returns nothing.
- `apple_contacts_create_contact` — Create a new contact in the address book. This is a real card in the user's real Contacts, and on an iCloud account it syncs to their other devices within secon
- `apple_contacts_update_contact`
- `apple_contacts_search_contacts` — Search the address book by name, nickname or organisation. Returns a ref for each match, plus which account it came from — the same person can legitimately appe
- `apple_contacts_list_contacts` — List contacts across every account. This is the whole address book, so prefer apple_contacts_search_contacts when you are looking for someone specific.
- `apple_contacts_get_contact` — One contact in full: name, organisation, job title, every phone number and every email address, each with its label.
- `apple_contacts_resolve_handles`

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"mcp-apple-contacts\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"@mgcrea/mcp-apple-contacts\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Contained to moderate — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: runs on your machine; read-only tool surface.
- Floor 13, ceiling 31 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
