README

Let Claude control your Mac. Move windows, click menus, type text, read clipboard, manage browser tabs, take screenshots, run Shortcuts — 18 typed tools with input validation and security guardrails.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.m0rvayne/mcp-osascript

Quick Start

Claude Desktop — one click. Download mcp-osascript-1.1.3.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it. Claude Desktop installs the extension itself.

Or add it to the config manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "osascript": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-osascript"]
    }
  }
}

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), restart Claude, and you're ready.

Config for other clients (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "osascript": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-osascript"]
    }
  }
}
