macOS Automator

by steipete · File Systems · mcp-server, typescript, npm

Automates macOS tasks through AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation with a rich library of pre-defined scripts for application control, file operations, and system interactions.

macOS Automator MCP Server enables execution of AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts on macOS systems. Developed by steipete under MIT license, it features a rich knowledge base of pre-defined scripts organized by categories, with support for inline scripts, script files, and argument passing. The server handles placeholder substitution for dynamic inputs, manages permissions for application control, and provides detailed logging for debugging. It's particularly valuable for automating macOS applications, file system operations, and system interactions without requiring users to write complex AppleScript code from scratch.
