macOS Automator

About

This project provides an MCP server, `macos_automator`, specifically designed to facilitate the remote execution of AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts on macOS. It boasts a rich, extensible knowledge base of pre-defined scripts for common macOS automation tasks, accessible by ID. The server supports executing scripts from inline content, absolute file paths, or directly from its knowledge base, complete with robust argument passing and structured input data handling. This enables programmatic control over macOS applications and system functions, making it an invaluable tool for integrating macOS automation into larger, particularly AI-driven, workflows.
