A macOS AppleScript MCP server
If you already use Applescript, the applescript mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A macOS AppleScript MCP server.
A Model Context Protocol server that enables LLM applications to interact with macOS through AppleScript. This server provides a standardized interface for AI applications to control system functions, manage files, handle notifications, and more.
The server ships on npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Calendar — The Calendar tool exposed by this serverExamples — // List today's events What events do I have scheduled for today?Clipboard — The Clipboard tool exposed by this serverFinder — The Finder tool exposed by this serverNotifications — The Notifications tool exposed by this serverSystem — The System tool exposed by this serveriTerm — The iTerm tool exposed by this serverShortcuts — The Shortcuts tool exposed by this serverMail — The Mail tool exposed by this serverMessages — The Messages tool exposed by this serverNotes — The Notes tool exposed by this serverPages — The Pages tool exposed by this serverThis sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Applescript's toolset — Calendar, Examples, Clipboard and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by joshrutkowski; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
