Pomeroy Makes the macOS Menu Bar the MCP Broker for Mail, Calendar and iMessage, Free at 50 Actions a Week
Pomeroy v1, updated 2026-09-07 and posted to Show HN 2026-09-08, is a single macOS menu-bar app that holds the system permissions and serves nine native apps (Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Contacts, iMessage, Maps, Shortcuts, Weather) over MCP to 20+ clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Copilot and Codex. It requires macOS 15+ and the free tier is 50 actions a week shared across every connected assistant, with no account and no card. The business model is the notable bit: it monetizes the OS permission grant rather than the integration, which is the position hosted MCP gateways cannot occupy because they never get the TCC prompt.
