README
Mac MCP
**Let your AI apps use your Mac.** Mac MCP is a local server and menu bar app that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, OpenCode and other MCP apps work in your Mac's apps, files, terminal and browser, with approvals you control. It is for people who already work with an AI app and want it to act on their Mac, not just talk about it.
- It works inside your apps. Your AI app opens Notes, looks through a folder in Finder or drafts a reply in Mail through macOS Accessibility, using the same buttons and menus you do. Files and the terminal are there too.
- It browses where you can see it. Visible, non-focus-stealing browser automation in Safari and Chrome: it works in a tab while you keep using your Mac, and frames the tab so you can see what it touches.
- It hands off work and reports back. Delegate a task to Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode or one of seven other agent CLIs and read a report of what it did.
- It answers from your documents. Pick folders in Settings › Privacy and your AI app can ask what your contracts, invoices or notes say, and get the file and page back. The index stays on your Mac.
- It automates the repeat work. Scheduled Tasks run AI tasks and scripts on their own; Recipes save a job your AI did once and replay it with one click, from Settings, the Shortcuts app or Siri.
