⚡ ShortcutsBridge
Run your Apple Shortcuts from ChatGPT — on your own Mac.
ShortcutsBridge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that lets ChatGPT list, search, and run your Apple Shortcuts. It never uploads your shortcuts to a third party — every action runs on your own Mac through a tiny local agent. The cloud piece is only a stateless relay that shuttles requests between ChatGPT and your Mac.
ChatGPT ──OAuth──► ShortcutsBridge relay ──job queue──► shortcuts-agent ──► Shortcuts.app
(connector) (Vercel, stateless) (your Mac, polls & executes) (via the shortcuts CLI)Your Mac is the only place your shortcuts are ever listed or run. The relay stores only short-lived job payloads and your account record; it never sees a shortcut unless a job is in flight, and jobs expire in seconds.
Because a Shortcut can do almost anything on a Mac or iPhone — control HomeKit, drive apps, run scripts, call web APIs — run_shortcut turns ChatGPT into a trigger for any automation you've already built.
For users — 3 steps
1. Create your account at shortcutsbridge.vercel.app and generate a pairing code.
2. Install the Mac agent (needs Node 18+):
npx shortcuts-agent pair <YOUR-CODE> # link this Mac to your account
npx shortcuts-agent install # keep it running on every restartThe first time a given shortcut runs, macOS may ask you to allow it — click OK (once per shortcut). It's per-shortcut consent, not a blanket automation grant.
3. Connect ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → turn on Developer mode (Security & login) → Create a custom plugin → paste the MCP Server URL https://shortcutsbridge.vercel.app/mcp → Authentication OAuth → sign in & Allow.
That's it. In a new chat: "Search my Apple Shortcuts for anything about focus" or "Run my Morning Briefing shortcut."
Your Mac must be awake with the agent running. npx shortcuts-agent install makes it start automatically at login and restart if it ever crashes.
Managing the agent
npx shortcuts-agent status # is it paired & reachable?
npx shortcuts-agent logs # recent activity
npx shortcuts-agent uninstall # stop auto-startWhat ChatGPT can do
The first three are read-only catalogue lookups. runshortcut is the only tool that does* something — it's open-world (the shortcut can take real-world actions), so ChatGPT confirms with you before running one, and only shortcuts you've already built can run.
Self-hosting
You can run your own relay so nothing depends on the hosted instance.
Prereqs: a Vercel account and a Supabase project (free tiers are fine).
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
