安装

选择你的客户端

~/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"
      ]
    }
  }
}

打开 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config。保存后重启应用。

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

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

Cursor 使用与 Claude Desktop 相同的 mcpServers 格式。项目级配置优先于全局。

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

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

点击 Cline 侧栏中的 MCP Servers 图标，然后选 "Edit Configuration"。

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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

格式与 Claude Desktop 相同。重启 Windsurf 生效。

~/.continue/config.json

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

Continue 使用服务器对象数组，而非映射。

~/.config/zed/settings.json

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

加入 context_servers。Zed 保存后热重载。

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

一行命令搞定。用 claude mcp list 验证，claude mcp remove 卸载。

使用场景

实战用法： applescript-mcp

How to create calendar events with natural language using applescript-mcp

👤 Mac users who want to manage their calendar via Claude ⏱ ~5 min beginner

何时使用： You want to quickly create, modify, or query calendar events without opening Calendar.app.

前置条件

macOS with SSH enabled — System Settings → Sharing → Remote Login
applescript-mcp installed — npx -y @peakmojo/applescript-mcp or uvx applescript-mcp

步骤

Create an event

Create a calendar event titled 'Team Standup' for tomorrow at 10am, 30 minutes long, in my Work calendar.✓ 已复制

→ Confirmation that the event was created with date and time
Query upcoming events

What events do I have this week?✓ 已复制

→ List of calendar events with times and titles

结果： Calendar events created and queried without leaving the chat.

注意事项

AppleScript uses calendar names that must match exactly — List available calendars first before creating events

搭配使用： filesystem

Search and organize files on your Mac with applescript-mcp

👤 Mac power users looking for file management automation ⏱ ~10 min intermediate

何时使用： You need to find scattered files across your Mac and organize them.

前置条件

applescript-mcp running — npx -y @peakmojo/applescript-mcp

步骤

Search for files

Use Spotlight to find all PDF files on my Mac modified in the last week.✓ 已复制

→ List of file paths matching the criteria
Organize results

Move all those PDFs into ~/Documents/Recent-PDFs/, creating the folder if needed.✓ 已复制

→ Confirmation of files moved

结果： Files found via Spotlight and organized into a designated folder.

注意事项

Spotlight index may be incomplete — Ensure Spotlight indexing is enabled for the relevant drives in System Settings

搭配使用： filesystem

组合

与其他 MCP 搭配，撬动十倍杠杆

applescript-mcp + filesystem

Use AppleScript to find files via Spotlight, then filesystem MCP to read and process their contents

Find all .md files modified today using Spotlight, then read and summarize each one.✓ 已复制

applescript-mcp + github

Create calendar reminders for upcoming GitHub PR review deadlines

Check my open PR review requests on GitHub and create calendar reminders for any that are overdue.✓ 已复制

工具

此 MCP 暴露的能力

工具	输入参数	何时调用	成本
run_applescript	script: str	Execute any AppleScript command on the connected Mac	0

成本与限制

运行它的成本

API 配额: No external API — runs locally on macOS
每次调用 Token 数: 200–1000 tokens per script execution
费用: Free
提示: Keep scripts focused on one task per call to minimize token usage from large outputs.

安全

权限、密钥、影响范围

凭据存储： SSH credentials needed for remote execution — store in env vars, not in config files

数据出站： 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.

故障排查

常见错误与修复

AppleScript execution failed — not authorized

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

验证： 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.

验证： 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.

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

替代方案

applescript-mcp 对比其他方案

替代方案	何时用它替代	权衡
filesystem MCP	You only need file read/write without controlling macOS apps	Much narrower scope but no system-level access risks
