Use Pear tools from Manus with your connected iCloud or Microsoft 365 account and a private custom header.

## 1. Prepare the account

[Sign in to Pear](https://pearmcp.com/login), connect iCloud or Microsoft 365, and create an API key in Settings. Manus calls Pear from its cloud. Calendar and mail data returned by Pear becomes context for that Manus session.

## 2. Add a custom MCP connector

Open Settings → Integrations → Custom MCP Servers → Add Server. Enter the Pear endpoint and use the available Bearer-token authentication option. If the form uses a full Authorization header, its value must include Bearer and a space before the key. Confirm the field format before entering a credential; do not add the prefix twice.

```text
Transport: HTTP
URL: https://pearmcp.com/api/mcp
Header name: Authorization
Header value: Bearer YOUR_PEAR_API_KEY
```

Replace the placeholder only in Manus's connector form. Do not paste the key into a Manus task. Browser OAuth is not the documented way to attach Pear.

## 3. Verify a real tool result

Ask Manus to call `pear_provider_status` and name the ready services for the expected account. Then find a known calendar event in a narrow date range and your timezone. Inspect the actual tool response: describing a proposed calendar check is not a completed read.

After the read, try: “Find tomorrow's planning meeting and summarize its time and attendees. Then preview a follow-up email for me to review; do not send it.” Review the draft, recipients, and sending account before approving a write through Pear.

## Troubleshooting and revocation

An authentication error often means the header value is missing the `Bearer ` prefix. For provider errors, check the connected account in Pear.

Revoke the API key in Pear to end access, then remove the Manus connector or replace the header value.

## Provider limits and next steps

Tools depend on your connected provider, account permissions, and client settings. Start with a read, then inspect a preview before approving writes.

Pear's hosted CalDAV connection cannot access Apple's upgraded Reminders store. Only legacy reminder data still exposed through CalDAV is available; reconnecting cannot change this limit. Microsoft To Do is unaffected. Google Workspace is coming soon.

## Sources and compatibility status

Documentation checked on 4 October 2026. Setup guide available; a complete Pear authentication, tool-list, read, and approved-write test in Manus is still pending.
