• macos_tools_mcp/server.py:35-38 (registration)

  @app.tool( name="network_services", description="List configured network services as reported by `networksetup`.", )
• macos_tools_mcp/server.py:39-40 (handler)

  Handler function for the network_services tool. Converts the iterable from tools.available_network_services() to a list.
  def network_services(_: Context | None = None) -> list[str]: return list(tools.available_network_services())
• macos_tools_mcp/tools.py:76-78 (helper)

  Low-level helper that runs the `networksetup -listallnetworkservices` command and returns its stdout.
  def network_services() -> str: """Return all configured network services via ``networksetup``.""" return _run_command(["networksetup", "-listallnetworkservices"])
• macos_tools_mcp/tools.py:110-119 (helper)

  Helper that parses the raw output from network_services(), filters and sanitizes lines to yield available network service names.
  def available_network_services() -> Iterable[str]: """Helper that returns the list of network services, skipping blank lines.""" output = network_services() for line in output.splitlines(): line = line.strip() if not line or line.startswith("An asterisk"): continue sanitized = line.lstrip('* ').strip() if sanitized: yield sanitized
