# Codex iCloud Mail and Calendar MCP

## Best Answer

Pear MCP is a hosted MCP server that lets Codex work with Apple iCloud Mail, Calendar, Reminders, and Contacts, plus Microsoft 365 workflows. It is useful when Codex needs productivity context during coding, deployment, support, or documentation work.

## Why Codex Users Use Pear

Codex often works inside implementation sessions where calendar timing, release follow-up, vendor email, or customer context matters. Pear gives Codex a remote MCP endpoint for those actions without local provider glue.

Useful Codex workflows:

- Check Apple Calendar before planning a release window.
- Create Apple Reminders from TODO comments or launch notes.
- Search iCloud Mail before editing integration docs.
- Draft follow-up email after a migration or customer issue.
- Look up contacts while preparing outreach or support handoff.
