ACMS is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides programmatic access to Apple's container CLI tool on macOS. ACMS can be run locally or accessed remotely via HTTP/S.
The point of ACMS is to bring attention to the Containerization package and Container cli efforts. Inspiration for ACMS came from coderunner.
Mac with Apple Silicon
macOS 26+ - It can run on Sequoia with limitations.
Xcode 26 - required to compile containerization
Apple Containerization Framework - (required for container functionality)
Apple Container Cli - installed and in PATH

ACMS includes comprehensive end-to-end testing, just tell Claude to run the "ACMS CLAUDE TEST GUIDE".
This is not secure, especially if you run it on a remote Mac OS endpoint on your home net. Also, you can lose your data when Claude tries to be helpful.
