Get Structured Contacts with the MCP Server

The `parse_vcard_contacts` tool handles massive iPhone or Android vcf files. It converts them into clean JSON, pulling out names, emails, phone numbers, and organization details. You can feed this structured data directly to your AI client for follow-up actions. Think of it as turning a giant pile of digital business cards into actionable code.

Process Local vCard Files

Since you're using the Claude Desktop app, you have local file access. Simply pass the absolute path to your `.vcf` export when invoking `parse_vcard_contacts`. The tool reads it right from your machine. This means you don't need to upload sensitive contact lists anywhere else; the processing happens locally via stdio transport.

Build Local Contact Management Workflows

Use `parse_vcard_contacts` in combination with other local tools. The structured JSON output lets your agent treat contacts like a database, not just text. You can then use this data to populate records or generate reports. This makes your AI client function as a hyper-intelligent address book that respects your machine's boundaries.
