Summary
The desktop, not just the browser.
What an assistant normally cannot touch on a Mac — what is on the clipboard, what is selected in Finder, whether notifications are muted — becomes readable and settable from the conversation.
What it is
A bridge to macOS through AppleScript. The session can read and set the clipboard, see what is selected in Finder, search for files, preview one with Quick Look, post a notification and switch Do Not Disturb on or off.
What you get
- The clipboard read, replaced or cleared
- The files currently selected in Finder, and a file search across the machine
- A file opened in Quick Look, without switching to a viewer app
- A native notification posted, and Do Not Disturb toggled
- The frontmost app, so an action lands where you are actually looking
Requirements
Node.js 18 or later, on macOS. It drives the desktop it runs on, so it has to run on the Mac you are sitting at.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y applescript-mcp
