Agentbridge
Lets Claude control vintage Macs running System 7 through 9 via a shared folder protocol. Drop the native AgentBridge app on your classic Mac (real hardware or emulator), point it at a shared volume, and the MCP server communicates through text files in inbox/outbox directories. You get full Toolbox access: list windows and processes, click coordinates, type text, read and write the clipboard, trigger menu items by name, launch apps by creator code or HFS path, and send Apple Events. Works over AFP, SMB, NAS shares, or emulator host folders. No SSH, no system modifications, just a regular classic Mac application polling for commands. Useful for automating retro Mac workflows, testing old software, or building AI agents that interact with vintage systems.

AgentBridge
Let AI talk to your Classic Mac.
AgentBridge is a native Classic Mac OS application that lets AI agents (like Claude) interact with Mac OS 7–9 through structured commands and responses. It works on real hardware and emulators — no modifications to your Mac required.
Drop AgentBridge into a shared folder, launch it on your Mac, and an AI agent can list windows, open apps, type text, read the clipboard, browse files, and more — all through a simple text-based protocol.
