Can Pear find an iCloud contact from a person’s name?
Pear can search iCloud Contacts and resolve a person conservatively. When a query has no safe single match, Pear returns ambiguity details rather than guessing which contact you meant.
iCloud Contacts MCP
Give AI assistants useful iCloud Contacts context without running CardDAV locally.
Pear connects to iCloud Contacts over hosted CardDAV and exposes contact tools from one MCP endpoint. Start with search and exact-contact reads; create, update, group, photo, and batch actions require the applicable permissions and active write policy.

FAQ
Answers for agents and search results.
Can an AI assistant manage iCloud contact groups and photos?
Pear exposes tools for contact groups, group membership, contact photos, and batch contact changes. Those are write actions, so the current Pear permissions and active write policy must allow the exact operation.
Does an iCloud Contacts MCP connection require a Mac?
No local Mac service is required for Pear’s hosted CardDAV connection. Your AI client still needs a documented remote MCP setup path, and the tools it exposes depend on its current authentication and permissions.
