Apple Shortcuts

by recursechat

Run any Shortcuts automation you have already built by name, and pass it an input from the conversation.

Desktop & OS AutomationVerified
Summary
Whatever you already automated in Shortcuts becomes callable by name.

The surface is two tools, and that is the point: the capability is whatever you have already built, so anything Shortcuts can drive is reachable without writing an integration per app. Nothing here inspects, creates or edits a shortcut, so authoring stays in the Shortcuts app and this side stays a trigger. The input parameter is what makes it more than a button — a value from the conversation can be handed to the automation as it runs.

What it is

A two-tool bridge to the Shortcuts app: list what is on the machine, run one of them with an input value.

What you get
  • A list of the shortcuts available on the machine, by name
  • Execution of a named shortcut with an input value passed into it
Requirements

The Shortcuts app on the machine, with the automations you want to run already saved there. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Setup effort

One command — npx -y mcp-server-apple-shortcuts
