The Apple connector for AI agents
Let the AI agent you already use work in your Apple world.
Cloud Butler connects Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client to your iCloud Mail, Calendar and Contacts today, and to your Home, Shortcuts and Mac through the Cloud Butler apps. You stay in charge: anything risky waits for your tap.
Works with iCloud. For iPhone, iPad and Mac. Works in Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients.
Find the invoice Dana emailed last week and reply that we'll pay it Friday.
Found "Invoice #2041" from Dana, received Nov 6. Here's the reply I drafted: "Hi Dana, thanks. We'll pay this on Friday." Send it?
Yes, send it.
Sent from your iCloud address. I also added "Pay Dana, invoice #2041" to your calendar on Friday at 10:00.
Unlock Front Door?Your agent asked. Approve on your iPhone.
An example. Home and lock control arrive with the Cloud Butler app.
One connector. Every agent. Your Apple world.
Cloud Butler is Cloud Control for your Apple world. It is not another AI: you bring the agent you already trust, and Cloud Butler gives it safe, approved access to your Apple services.
Calendar
See your week, find a free slot, book a meeting, move it or cancel it. Recurring events and time zones are handled for you.
Contacts
Look someone up by name, email, company or phone digits. Add new contacts and update details without losing photos or groups.
Home and Shortcuts
Turn on lights, set the thermostat or run a scene, and run your Shortcuts. Locks, garage doors and security always ask you first on your device.
Mac, Safari and Messages
Let your agent work on your Mac: run Apple Scripting and Shortcuts, browse in Safari and help with Messages, every risky step approved by you.
iCloud Drive, Reminders and more
Files in iCloud Drive, Reminders, Find My, Notes and Photos. These use a separate sign-in that stays off unless it is switched on.
You stay in charge
Cloud Butler is built so the person, not the agent, has the last word.
You choose what to connect
You sign in once with an Apple app-specific password, never your Apple ID password. The sign-in page shows exactly what the agent will be allowed to do before you agree.
Your agent asks before it acts
Cloud Butler tells your agent to show you the draft and get your OK before it sends mail or deletes anything. Read-only tools are clearly marked so your AI app can ask first for everything else.
Risky device actions need your tap
With the Cloud Butler app, unlocking a door, opening the garage, running a scene or a Shortcut waits for you to approve it on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Every action is logged.
Change your mind anytime: delete the app-specific password at account.apple.com and access stops at once. How to revoke access.
Private by design
Cloud Butler talks to iCloud only through Apple's own standard protocols for mail, calendar and contacts apps (IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV), the same way any mail or calendar app on your Mac does.
- Your app-specific password is checked with Apple, then stored encrypted. We never ask for your Apple ID password for Mail, Calendar or Contacts.
- We don't keep copies of your mail, events or contacts. Cloud Butler fetches what your agent asks for and passes it straight through.
- We never sell your data and never use it to train AI models.
- Each person's connection is kept separate and can be revoked at any time.
- Cloud Butler labels what comes back from your mail as untrusted content, so your agent knows not to follow instructions hidden inside a message.

Questions
Is Cloud Butler an AI assistant?
No. Cloud Butler is a connector. You keep using the AI you like (Claude, ChatGPT or any app that supports the Model Context Protocol, the open standard AI apps use to plug in tools). Cloud Butler gives that agent access to your Apple services. We don't sell AI usage.
Is Cloud Butler made by Apple?
No. Cloud Butler is an independent product of CogNoodle, LLC. It uses the standard protocols Apple supports for third-party mail, calendar and contacts apps.
What is an app-specific password?
A password Apple creates for one app, so you never share your real Apple ID password. You make one at account.apple.com in under a minute, and you can delete it anytime to cut off access. Step by step.
Can my agent send email without asking me?
Cloud Butler marks sending and deleting as actions that change your data and tells your agent to show you the draft and get your approval first. Most AI apps also ask you before running such a tool. Device actions like unlocking a door always need your tap in the Cloud Butler app.
Does Cloud Butler read or store my mail?
Cloud Butler fetches only what your agent asks for, when it asks, and passes it to your AI app. It doesn't keep a copy of your messages, events or contacts. The details are in the privacy policy.
When do the Mac and iPhone apps arrive?
They are being built now. The Mac app will be a direct download from this site and the iPhone and iPad app will be free on the App Store. See downloads.
