list_shortcuts
List all available Siri shortcuts
LABSCO SUMMARY
Whatever you have already automated in Shortcuts becomes one call from the client.
run_shortcut takes a name or a UUID with optional input and output, so an existing shortcut — a home automation, a file conversion, a capture into notes — is reachable without being rebuilt anywhere else. The server does not author shortcuts: open_shortcut hands that job back to the Shortcuts app. What is reachable is exactly what is installed on that machine, which is what the listing enumerates.
What it is
A server over the Shortcuts app on the host machine: the installed shortcuts listed, run, or opened for editing.
What you get
- Every installed shortcut listed by name
- A shortcut run by name or by UUID, with optional input passed in and output returned
- A shortcut opened in the Shortcuts app when what it needs is editing rather than running
Requirements
A machine with the Shortcuts app, holding the shortcuts you want to reach. Two environment variables are read, GENERATE_SHORTCUT_TOOLS and INJECT_SHORTCUT_LIST. GPL-3.0.
Setup effort
One command — npx mcp-server-siri-shortcuts
USE CASES
01
Firing an automation you already built
List what is installed on the machine, then run the one you want by name or UUID, passing input in and taking its output back into the conversation.
02
Changing a shortcut that no longer does the right thing
Find it in the listing and open it in the Shortcuts app — editing stays where shortcuts are actually built, and the server only hands you the door.
3 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
open_shortcut
Open a shortcut in the Shortcuts app
run_shortcut
Run a shortcut by name or identifier (UUID) with optional input and output parameters
