Siri Shortcuts MCP Server

This MCP server provides access to Siri shortcuts functionality via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows listing, opening, and running shortcuts from the macOS Shortcuts app.

  • List all available shortcuts
  • Open shortcuts in the Shortcuts app
  • Run shortcuts with optional input parameters
  • Dynamically generated tools for each available shortcut
