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.
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.
The Apple Shortcuts MCP server:
Before you begin, ensure you have:
Here’s the Claude Desktop configuration to use the Apple Shortcuts server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-shortcuts": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-server-apple-shortcuts"]
}
}
}
git clone [email protected]:recursechat/mcp-server-apple-shortcuts.git
npm install
npm run build
Here’s the Claude Desktop configuration to use the Apple Shortcuts server with a local build:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-shortcuts": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-server-apple-shortcuts/build/index.js"],
}
}
}
You can ask Claude “list shortcuts” or run a specific shortcut with the shortcut name, for example “get word of the day” or “play a song”.
