AppleScript MCP Server (Dual access: python and node.js)

npm version License: MIT

Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you run AppleScript code to interact with Mac. This MCP is intentionally designed to be simple, straightforward, intuitive, and require minimal setup.

I can't believe how simple and powerful it is. The core code is <100 line of code.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Node.js

{ "mcpServers": { "applescript_execute": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@peakmojo/applescript-mcp" ] } } }

Python

Install uv

brew install uv git clone ... 

Run the server

{ "mcpServers": { "applescript_execute": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/your/repo", "run", "src/applescript_mcp/server.py" ] } } } 

Docker Usage

When running in a Docker container, you can use the special hostname host.docker.internal to connect to your Mac host:

Configuration

{ "mcpServers": { "applescript_execute": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@peakmojo/applescript-mcp", "--remoteHost", "host.docker.internal", "--remoteUser", "yourusername", "--remotePassword", "yourpassword" ] } } }

This allows your Docker container to execute AppleScript on the Mac host system. Make sure:

  1. SSH is enabled on your Mac (System Settings → Sharing → Remote Login)
  2. Your user has proper permissions
  3. The correct credentials are provided in the config
