contents We study a massive-photon electrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in the curved spacetime of Einstein's gravity. We consider a Proca-type photon mass and present equations in terms of electric and magnetic (EM) fields and the vector potential. We present the electrodynamics and MHD in the covariant and ADM formulations valid in general spacetime and in linearly perturbed cosmological spacetime. We present wave equations assuming the metric variations are negligible compared with the field variations. Equations are derived without fixing the temporal gauge condition and the gauge transformation properties of the EM fields and the vector potential are presented. Using the post-Newtonian approximation we show the dark Proca field behaves as dust in the non-relativistic limit under the Klein transformation.
