Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler	Coût
run_applescript	script: str	Execute any AppleScript command on the connected Mac	0

Coût et limites

Coût d'exécution

Quota d'API: No external API — runs locally on macOS
Tokens par appel: 200–1000 tokens per script execution
Monétaire: Free
Astuce: Keep scripts focused on one task per call to minimize token usage from large outputs.

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Stockage des identifiants : SSH credentials needed for remote execution — store in env vars, not in config files

Sortie de données : All execution is local to the Mac. No external network calls unless your script makes them.

WARNING: This MCP grants full system control via AppleScript. It can read/write files, send messages, execute shell commands, and control any application. Only use with trusted prompts and review scripts before execution.
Never run this on a production machine or with access to sensitive data you wouldn't want an AI to process.
SSH remote execution exposes the target Mac to any command the AI generates. Use strong credentials and restrict network access.

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

AppleScript execution failed — not authorized

Grant Terminal (or your MCP host) access in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation and Accessibility.

Vérifier : osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to get name of every disk'

SSH connection refused

Enable Remote Login in System Settings → Sharing. Verify SSH credentials are correct.

Vérifier : ssh your-user@localhost 'echo ok'

Application not responding to AppleScript

Some apps have limited or no AppleScript support. Check the app's AppleScript dictionary in Script Editor.

Vérifier : Open Script Editor → File → Open Dictionary → select the app

Alternatives

applescript-mcp vs autres

Alternative	Quand l'utiliser	Compromis
filesystem MCP	You only need file read/write without controlling macOS apps	Much narrower scope but no system-level access risks
