Let an AI agent operate your Mac — with you still in charge.

OSX-MCP is a native MCP server. It can click, type, read what is on screen, open apps, and run commands you approve. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Ollama, and any other MCP client.

On your Mac

The server runs locally. There is no OSX-MCP account and nothing is sent to us.

You approve the risky bits

Shell, files, and similar tools ask first. Emergency stop is Control-Option-Shift-Escape.

macOS permissions

Grant Accessibility (required) and Screen Recording (screenshots only) in System Settings.

Install

One command finds the binary and writes MCP config for the clients on this Mac.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imehdihosseini/osx-mcp/main/setup.sh | sh

Or with Homebrew: brew tap imehdihosseini/osx-mcp https://github.com/imehdihosseini/osx-mcp && brew install osx-mcp
