Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.7.0

Published

Provision and surface iMCP (Apple PIM: Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Messages, Location, Maps, Weather) for pi. One-command installer, a dashboard provisioning panel, and an agent skill. macOS-only; no Apple Mail.

Readme

@blackbelt-technology/pi-dashboard-apple-tools

Provision and surface iMCP — Apple PIM (Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Messages, Location, Maps, Weather) — for a pi session on macOS, reached through pi-mcp-adapter.

macOS only. No Apple Mail. iMCP exposes no Mail service; "Messages" is iMessage/SMS, not email. For email use the apple-mail-fast-export skill.

What it does

Three moving parts must line up before a single Apple tool call works:

  1. iMCP.app installedbrew install --cask mattt/tap/iMCP
  2. pi-mcp-adapter loaded — an entry in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json packages[]
  3. mcp.json entry presentmcpServers.iMCP.command in ~/.pi/agent/mcp.json
  4. TCC grantsmanual, in the iMCP menu-bar app (Apple's security model has no API; this step cannot be automated)

Steps 1–3 are automated by this package. Step 4 is a documented manual click.

Install

pi install npm:@blackbelt-technology/pi-dashboard-apple-tools

Installing the package does nothing on its own (no postinstall). Provisioning is opt-in:

pi-apple-tools-install          # provision (writes mcp.json + settings.json)
pi-apple-tools-install --check  # report the state without changing anything

Provisioning states

A closed nine-member enum, identical across the CLI, the dashboard panel, and the doctor probe:

UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM · OS_VERSION_UNKNOWN · OS_TOO_OLD · NO_INSTALL_METHOD · INSTALL_FAILED · CONFIG_UNPARSEABLE · CONFIG_WRITE_FAILED · READY_PENDING_GRANTS · READY

READY_PENDING_GRANTS means everything is wired but you still need to grant permissions in the iMCP menu-bar app. Minimum macOS: 15.3.

Manual grant step

After READY_PENDING_GRANTS, open the iMCP menu-bar app and grant each Apple service you need. Grants can be revoked out of band at any time and cannot be detected ahead of a call — a permission-class failure means menu-bar remediation, not re-running the installer.

Dashboard panel

The plugin contributes a settings section under its own row in the Plugins tab: status readout, Run installer, imcp-server path override, directTools selection, and a server enable/disable toggle (writes a disabled override to the project-local .pi/mcp.json). It has no per-service toggles — those are menu-bar only.
