Mirrors the existing IMESSAGE_STATE_DIR override. Lets a mock sqlite
chat.db stand in for ~/Library/Messages/chat.db so chat_messages can be
tested without macOS + Full Disk Access + real iMessage history.
Reformat chat_messages output from flat per-message lines to grouped
conversation threads. Each thread gets a header labelling it DM or Group
with its participant list, date-separator lines when the calendar day
rolls over, and [HH:MM] local-time stamps instead of full ISO.
chat_guid is now optional — omit to dump every allowlisted chat at once
for a quick multi-thread overview. Default limit raised 20→100 per chat,
capped at 500.
New queries: qChatParticipants (handle list per chat) and qChatInfo
(display_name + style to distinguish DM/group). renderMsg replaced by
conversationHeader + renderConversation.
Write/Edit previews are unbearably long over iMessage. Bash is the
dangerous one where seeing the command matters; everything else gets
tool_name + description only.
Brings the imessage channel to parity with recent telegram/discord
hardening:
- Permission-relay capability: declare claude/channel/permission,
handle inbound permission_request notifications by fanning out to
allowlisted DM chats + self-chat, intercept "yes/no <id>" replies
after the gate check and emit structured permission events instead
of relaying as chat. Groups excluded per single-user-mode policy.
- Global unhandledRejection/uncaughtException handlers so the server
logs instead of dying silently.
- IMESSAGE_STATE_DIR env override for the state directory.
- .unref() on both setInterval timers so they don't block shutdown.
- stdin EOF / SIGTERM / SIGINT shutdown handler that closes chat.db
and exits cleanly instead of leaving a zombie poll loop.
Adds zod as a direct dep (already transitively present via the MCP SDK)
for the notification handler schema.
iMessage bridge for Claude Code. Reads ~/Library/Messages/chat.db
directly for history and new-message polling; sends via AppleScript
to Messages.app. macOS only.
Built-in access control: inbound messages are gated by an allowlist
(default: self-chat only), outbound sends are scoped to the same
allowlist. The /imessage:access skill manages allowlists and policy.
Requires Full Disk Access and Automation TCC grants — both prompted
by macOS on first use.
Ships full source — server.ts runs locally via bun, started by the
.mcp.json command.
