mac-control-mcp
A native Swift binary that lets Claude drive macOS through 63 tools spanning Accessibility APIs, window management, screen capture with OCR, Safari and Chrome tab control, synthetic input events, Spotlight search, and system toggles. It's developer-ID signed and notarized, ships as a one-click .mcpb bundle, and runs without Node or Python. The Accessibility bridge alone gives you read/write access to UI trees across every running app, which means you can automate workflows that would otherwise need brittle AppleScript or paid macro tools. File output is restricted to user directories and Desktop to prevent path traversal. Reach for this when you want Claude to operate your Mac the way a user would, clicking buttons and reading windows instead of calling APIs.
