Apple pencil is a touchscreen input device. It requires a touchscreen computer, such as an iPad.


You CAN use an iPad (equipped with an Apple Pencil) as an input device on your MacBook Pro, but not an Apple Pencil by itself.


Use your iPad as a second display for your Mac with Sidecar - Apple Support
