Apple Shortcuts MCP Server 🤖

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants like Claude control Apple Shortcuts automations. This enables AI models to trigger shortcuts and automate tasks on macOS in a safe and controlled way.

What is MCP? 🤔

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a system that lets AI apps, like Claude Desktop, connect to external tools and data sources. It gives a clear and safe way for AI assistants to work with local services and APIs while keeping the user in control.

What does this server do? 🚀

The Apple Shortcuts MCP server:

  • Enables AI assistants to list available shortcuts
  • Allows running shortcuts by name with optional input parameters
  • Provides a simple interface for automation control
