Yes, you can fax from your Mac, even without a modem and without a phone line. All you need is internet and mcpfax. Let me show you how. On a Mac you have three ways: Claude in the browser or as a desktop app, Apple Mail, or the mcpfax website directly. You set up an account once. You don't need a modem or a phone line. Drag the PDF from Finder into the chat and give the fax number. Claude shows the pages and the price. After your yes, the fax is sent, here to Switzerland, at the same price as within the EU. Prefer email? Then in Apple Mail, write to the fax number with its country code and our fax domain, as shown on screen. Attach the PDF and send. This works from any other email program too. Either way, after the transmission you receive the transmission report as a PDF by email. It's best to file it right away in your folder, together with the document. You'll find the link to mcpfax in the description. Subscribe to the channel for more guides on sending faxes.
