imessage
PackCommunicationThis is a plugin that gives an AI agent the ability to send and read iMessages. It works as an imessage claude plugin, reading the chat database directly and sending messages through AppleScript. Access control is built in, so the person running the agent decides who the agent may message.
Unavailable. Delivery for this kind is on the roadmap — not serving yet.
Have a Mac with iMessage set up and the chat database available.
What your AI can do with it
- Sends iMessages on behalf of the agent via AppleScript
- Reads conversations directly from chat.db

- Maintains allowlists of permitted contacts
- Sets messaging policy rules via /imessage:access
