~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "applescript-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Abra Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Reinicie após salvar.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "applescript-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor usa o mesmo esquema mcpServers que o Claude Desktop. Config de projeto vence a global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "applescript-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Clique no ícone MCP Servers na barra lateral do Cline, depois "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "applescript-mcp": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Mesmo formato do Claude Desktop. Reinicie o Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "applescript-mcp",
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

O Continue usa um array de objetos de servidor em vez de um map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "applescript-mcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "TODO",
        "args": [
          "See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Adicione em context_servers. Zed recarrega automaticamente ao salvar.

claude mcp add applescript-mcp -- TODO 'See README: https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp'

Uma linha só. Verifique com claude mcp list. Remova com claude mcp remove.

Ferramentas

O que este MCP expõe

Ferramenta	Entradas	Quando chamar	Custo
run_applescript	script: str	Execute any AppleScript command on the connected Mac	0

Custo e limites

O que custa rodar

Cota de API: No external API — runs locally on macOS
Tokens por chamada: 200–1000 tokens per script execution
Monetário: Free
Dica: Keep scripts focused on one task per call to minimize token usage from large outputs.

Segurança

Permissões, segredos, alcance

Armazenamento de credenciais: SSH credentials needed for remote execution — store in env vars, not in config files

Saída de dados: 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.

Solução de problemas

Erros comuns e correções

AppleScript execution failed — not authorized

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

Verificar: 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.

Verificar: 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.

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

Alternativas

applescript-mcp vs. outros

Alternativa	Quando usar	Troca
filesystem MCP	You only need file read/write without controlling macOS apps	Much narrower scope but no system-level access risks
