The server publishes 8 tools. What each one is for:
remote_macos_get_screen — Connect to a remote macOS machine and get a screenshot of the remote desktop. Uses environment variables for connection detailsremote_macos_send_keys — Send keyboard input to a remote macOS machine. Uses environment variables for connection detailsremote_macos_mouse_move — Move the mouse cursor to specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables forremote_macos_mouse_click — Perform a mouse click at specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables forremote_macos_mouse_double_click — Perform a mouse double-click at specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables forremote_macos_mouse_scroll — Perform a mouse scroll at specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables forremote_macos_open_application — Opens/activates an application and returns its PID for further interactionsremote_macos_mouse_drag_n_drop — Perform a mouse drag operation from start point and drop to end point on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scalingSetup 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.
Configuration is passed through the environment: MACOS_HOST. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of browser automation servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP Remote Macos Use's toolset — remote_macos_get_screen, remote_macos_send_keys, remote_macos_mouse_move and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by baryhuang; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Microsoft's official browser automation server — drive a real browser through the accessibility tree, no screenshots needed.
Industrial-strength web extraction — render, scrape, crawl and search entire sites into clean markdown.
The original Chromium automation reference server — simple, screenshot-driven browser control.
Give your coding agent the full DevTools toolbox: traces, network, console, heap snapshots and Lighthouse.
Puppeteer-powered browser control that drives pages from the accessibility tree instead of pixels.
Cloud browsers for AI agents — automation sessions that run in Browserbase's fleet, not on your machine.
