# Mac Control MCP Server
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows controlling macOS through an AI interface. It provides tools for executing AppleScript, controlling the mouse and keyboard, and retrieving system information.
## Features
- Execute arbitrary AppleScript commands
- Control mouse movement and clicks
- Simulate keyboard input
- Open applications
- Retrieve system information
- **New**: Control your Mac using natural language with LLM integration
## Setup
1. Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
2. Run the MCP server:
```
npm start
```
3. **For LLM integration**: Set your LLM API key and run the LLM server:
```
export LLM_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
npm run serve
```
## Using the LLM Interface
We've added a web interface that allows you to control your Mac using natural language commands through an LLM. To use it:
1. Run the LLM server:
```
npm run serve
```
2. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000`
3. Enter natural language commands like:
- "Open the Notes application"
- "Type 'Hello World'"
- "Click at position x=500, y=300"
- "Show system information"
For more detailed instructions, see the [LLM Integration Guide](INSTRUCTIONS.md).
## Configuration
The server can be configured through environment variables or through the Smithery configuration panel:
- `ENABLE_MOUSE_CONTROL`: Enable or disable mouse control functions (default: true)
- `ENABLE_KEYBOARD_CONTROL`: Enable or disable keyboard input functions (default: true)
- `ENABLE_APPLESCRIPT`: Enable or disable AppleScript execution (default: true)
## Implementation Details
This MCP server follows the standard MCP protocol:
- Uses STDIO for communication (stdin/stdout)
- Expects JSON messages in a specific format
- Returns JSON responses with tool results
- Can be integrated with any LLM or AI system that supports the MCP protocol
## Protocol Format
### Input Format
```json
{
"type": "tool_call",
"data": {
"id": "unique-id",
"name": "tool_name",
"params": {
"param1": "value1"
}
}
}
```
### Output Format
```json
{
"type": "tool_result",
"data": {
"id": "unique-id",
"result": {
"key": "value"
}
}
}
```
## Available Tools
### AppleScript Tools
- **run_applescript**: Execute an arbitrary AppleScript command
- **open_application**: Open a macOS application
- **get_system_info**: Get basic system information
### Keyboard Control Tools
- **type_text**: Type text via keyboard
- **key_press**: Press a keyboard key with optional modifier
### Mouse Control Tools
- **mouse_click**: Perform a mouse click at specific coordinates
- **mouse_move**: Move the mouse to a position
## Deployment on Smithery
This repository includes the necessary configuration files for deployment on Smithery:
- `Dockerfile`: Defines the container build
- `smithery.yaml`: Configuration for the Smithery platform
## Security Considerations
Since this MCP server can control your Mac, it should be used with caution:
- Be careful about allowing arbitrary AppleScript execution in production
- Consider using configuration options to disable features you don't need
- Run in a secure environment with appropriate access controls
