## Tools

14 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `apple_maps_where_was_that_place` — Track down a saved place across favourites, Guides and recents — three lists that hold places for different reasons. Read-only.
- `apple_maps_diagnostics` — Report whether Maps' store can be read, which columns were resolved for each entity, and what this server deliberately cannot do. Start here when a read returns
- `apple_maps_save_place` — Save a place into Maps' Places library, by pressing Add on its card. This is NOT a favourite: the Pinned list is a different set, written by apple_maps_add_favo
- `apple_maps_remove_saved_place` — Remove a place from Maps' Places library, through the card's overflow menu. This does NOT touch favourites — use apple_maps_remove_favorite for those. SIDE EFFE
- `apple_maps_add_place_to_guide`
- `apple_maps_list_favorites` — List the places saved as favourites in Maps, with coordinates, address and the label the user gave them. Needs Full Disk Access — Maps is not scriptable, so wit
- `apple_maps_list_collections` — List the collections (Guides) in Maps. Each carries Maps' own count of the places in it. Use apple_maps_list_collection_places to enumerate one. Needs Full Disk
- `apple_maps_list_collection_places` — List the places filed in one collection, by its ref. Needs Full Disk Access. Returns nothing when this store does not expose collection membership — check apple
- `apple_maps_list_unfiled_places` — List saved places that are in no collection. Maps files a saved place into a Guide through a join table, and a place can exist with no row there — 12 of 30 on t
- `apple_maps_list_recents` — List the places recently looked at in Maps, newest first. This is Maps' Recents list, not a search history: it holds places, directions and searches the user ac
- `apple_maps_search_places` — Search every saved place — favourites, collection entries and recents — by name, by the label the user gave it, or by address. Returns each match with the kind 
- `apple_maps_get_place` — Get one saved place by its ref, with coordinates, address and dates. Needs Full Disk Access.
- `apple_maps_add_favorite`
- `apple_maps_remove_favorite` — Remove a place from Maps' favourites, by a ref from apple_maps_list_favorites. This deletes the favourite on the user's other Apple devices too, through iCloud.

## 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-maps\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"@mgcrea/mcp-apple-maps\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: deletes data; runs on your machine.
- Floor 37, ceiling 61 (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.
