| 66 | ## Getting Started |
| 67 | |
| 68 | ### Download and open the app |
| 69 | |
| 70 | First, [download the iMCP app](https://iMCP.app/download) |
| 71 | (requires macOS 15.3 or later). |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Or, if you have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) installed, |
| 74 | you can run the following command: |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ```console |
| 77 | brew install --cask mattt/tap/iMCP |
| 78 | ``` |
| 79 | |
| 80 | <img align="right" width="344" src="/Assets/imcp-screenshot-first-launch.png" alt="Screenshot of iMCP on first launch" /> |
| 81 | |
| 82 | When you open the app, |
| 83 | you'll see a |
| 84 | <img style="display: inline" width="20" height="16" src="/Assets/icon.svg" /> |
| 85 | icon in your menu bar. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | Clicking on this icon reveals the iMCP menu, |
| 88 | which displays all available services. |
| 89 | Initially, all services will appear in gray, |
| 90 | indicating they're inactive. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | The blue toggle switch at the top indicates that the MCP server is running |
| 93 | and ready to connect with MCP-compatible clients. |
| 94 | |

| 98 | |
| 99 | ### Activate services |
| 100 | |
| 101 | To activate a service, click on its icon. |
| 102 | The system will prompt you with a permission dialog. |
| 103 | For example, when activating Calendar access, you'll see a dialog asking `"iMCP" Would Like Full Access to Your Calendar`. |
| 104 | Click <kbd>Allow Full Access</kbd> to continue. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | > [!IMPORTANT] |
| 107 | > iMCP **does not** collect or store any of your data. |
| 108 | > Clients like Claude Desktop _do_ send |
| 109 | > your data off device as part of tool calls. |
