Connect iMessage to Copilot

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Copilot reads your unread iMessage chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Copilot searches your iMessage history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Copilot writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own iMessage account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

1. 1

   Add ConnectChats to Copilot

   • In VS Code, open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP and paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp.
   • Name the server connectchats. Copilot opens the ConnectChats sign-in page, where you sign in with your passkey.
   • Your shared chats are then available when you ask Copilot about your messages in agent mode.
2. 2

   Link your iMessage account

   • Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then iMessage.
   • Install the ConnectChats relay on a Mac that is signed in to Messages with the same Apple Account as your iPhone.
   • The relay pairs with your ConnectChats account using a code shown in the dashboard.
   • Keep the Mac on and awake. Your chats appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.

   Pick the chats Copilot can see

   Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Copilot never sees the rest.

4. 4

   Ask Copilot about your iMessage

   Open a new conversation in Copilot and ask about your chats. Copilot calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• iMessage in ConnectChats

  A Mac that stays on is required. Without one, iMessage cannot be connected, because Apple offers no other way in. One to one chats and group chats are supported, including SMS from your iPhone if Text Message Forwarding is on for that Mac. Messages arrive while the Mac is awake. If it sleeps or shuts down, new messages wait until it is back. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.

• ConnectChats in Copilot

  ConnectChats works with GitHub Copilot in VS Code and with Copilot Studio agents, which can both add a remote MCP server. The consumer Copilot app for Windows, the web and your phone does not offer a setting to add your own MCP server. In VS Code, GitHub Copilot adds a remote MCP server with the MCP: Add Server command. In Copilot Studio, makers add MCP servers to an agent under Tools, Add a tool, Model Context Protocol. It needs a work account and the right licences. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Copilot without linking them again. The consumer Copilot app has no setting for your own MCP servers, so use ConnectChats through GitHub Copilot in VS Code or a Copilot Studio agent.

• You pick the chats

  Copilot only sees the iMessage chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Copilot prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches iMessage, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
