MCP server providing macOS utility tools
MCP server providing macOS utility tools. Exposed over MCP by the mcp macos utils mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides macOS utility tools for AI assistants.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
notify — The notify tool exposed by this serverBuilding — The Building tool exposed by this serverosascript for notifications) - Node.js 20+ - TypeScript 5.5+This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP Macos Utils's toolset — notify, Building — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by msageryd; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
