What the publisher says
From the Macos repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@cyanheads/macos-mcp-server Control macOS system settings, apps, windows, audio, displays, screenshots, and Focus mode via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. 13 Tools • 3 Resources
macOS-only. This server controls the local macOS system — it requires the host machine to be running macOS. HTTP transport is supported for completeness, but the practical use case is stdio: run it locally and point your MCP client at it.
Overview
macOS system control — application lifecycle, window management, audio and display routing, screenshots, Finder integration, notifications, and Focus mode. Launch, quit, and arrange apps and windows, switch audio devices, capture screenshots, and toggle Focus mode from any MCP client. Runs as a stdio process or a local Streamable HTTP server.
Tools
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
