# AppleScript MCP Server (Dual access: python and node.js)
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@peakmojo/applescript-mcp) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
## Overview
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you run AppleScript code to interact with Mac. This MCP is intentionally designed to be simple, straightforward, intuitive, and require minimal setup.
I can't believe how simple and powerful it is. The core code is <100 line of code.

## Usage with Claude Desktop
### Node.js
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"applescript_execute": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@peakmojo/applescript-mcp"
]
}
}
}
```
### Python
Install uv
```
brew install uv
git clone ...
```
Run the server
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"applescript_execute": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/your/repo",
"run",
"src/applescript_mcp/server.py"
]
}
}
}
```
## Docker Usage
When running in a Docker container, you can use the special hostname `host.docker.internal` to connect to your Mac host:
### Configuration
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"applescript_execute": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@peakmojo/applescript-mcp",
"--remoteHost", "host.docker.internal",
"--remoteUser", "yourusername",
"--remotePassword", "yourpassword"
]
}
}
}
```
This allows your Docker container to execute AppleScript on the Mac host system. Make sure:
1. SSH is enabled on your Mac (System Settings → Sharing → Remote Login)
2. Your user has proper permissions
3. The correct credentials are provided in the config
