About

Mac Shell provides a secure MCP server that executes macOS terminal commands using the ZSH shell, incorporating whitelisting and approval mechanisms for enhanced security. It allows administrators to define safe, approval-required, and forbidden commands, offering a robust approach to managing shell command execution. The server integrates smoothly with platforms like Roo Code and Claude Desktop, facilitating command management and execution through a configurable whitelist.

Key Features

  • Command whitelisting with security levels (Safe, Requires Approval, Forbidden)
  • Approval workflow for potentially dangerous commands
  • Uses Node.js's `execFile` to prevent shell injection
  • Pre-configured whitelist of common safe commands
  • Comprehensive command management tools

Use Cases

  • Securely execute shell commands from Claude Desktop
  • Securely execute shell commands from Roo Code
  • Manage and control command execution on macOS systems
