macOS Automator
Facilitates remote execution of AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts on macOS, enabling programmatic control over applications and system functions.
About
This project offers a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server named `macos_automator`, designed to seamlessly execute AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts directly on macOS. It provides a robust, extensible knowledge base of pre-defined scripts, allowing users to leverage common macOS automation tasks by ID, or execute inline scripts and script files with flexible argument passing. This enables programmatic control of macOS applications and system functionalities, making it ideal for integrating sophisticated macOS automation into larger, especially AI-driven, workflows.
