Why people use vcard-parser
VCard Contacts Parser for Local Address Book Management
This Connector fixes that by acting as a local intelligence engine. It strips away the junk and turns the raw data into a clean JSON array that your AI client can actually understand. You get a reliable way to ask your agent for specific details, like finding a colleague's office number or a friend's email, without ever uploading your private contact list to a third-party cloud.
What Vinkius changes
Your AI gets a clean, searchable version of your phonebook without the technical overhead.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about vcard-parser.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the vCard Contacts Parser handle my whole phone book?
Yes, it can process files with over 5,000 contacts at once. This means you don't have to split your exports into smaller chunks to get your AI to see them.
Does vCard Contacts Parser upload my contacts to the cloud?
No, it runs 100% locally on your machine. Your personal data stays on your hardware, which is a huge win for privacy.
What kind of files does vCard Contacts Parser work with?
It specifically parses .vcf files, which are the standard exports for iPhone and Android contact lists.
Can I use vCard Contacts Parser to find a specific person's number?
Yes, once the file is parsed, you can just ask your agent to find a specific name or company. It will search the structured data and give you the result.
Will vCard Contacts Parser make my AI hallucinate less?
Yes, because it strips out the messy binary noise and base64 images that usually confuse AI models. It only gives the AI the clean text it needs.
Does vCard Contacts Parser work with Claude or Cursor?
It works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. You just connect it through the Vinkius catalog.
Is my address book uploaded to the cloud?
Never. The vCard parsing is executed completely local on your device. Only the extracted text representation is provided to the AI context.
Does it support multiple contacts in a single file?
Yes! It perfectly parses multi-vCard files exported from iOS, Google Contacts, or Android devices, handling thousands of entries seamlessly.
What happens to the contact profile pictures?
Profile pictures (PHOTO;ENCODING=b) are intentionally ignored and stripped during parsing to preserve AI context tokens and prevent crashes.
