MCP Etherscan Server
# Apple Notifier MCP Server
## Overview
This MCP server will provide tools to send notifications on Apple devices using the `osascript` command. The server will expose a simple interface to display notifications with customizable titles, messages, and sound options.

## Dependencies
- `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` - Core MCP SDK
- `typescript` - For type safety and better development experience
- No external dependencies needed for notifications as we'll use native `osascript`
## Implementation Details
### MCP Server Tools
The server will expose the following tools:
1. `send_notification`
- Parameters:
- title (required): string - Notification title
- message (required): string - Notification message
- subtitle (optional): string - Notification subtitle
- sound (optional): boolean - Play default notification sound (default: true)
### Core Notification Implementation
We'll use the `osascript` command with AppleScript to send notifications:
```applescript
display notification "message" with title "title" subtitle "subtitle" sound name "default"
```
The notifier module will handle:
- Parameter validation
- Escaping special characters
- Command execution
- Error handling
### Error Handling
The server will handle common error scenarios:
- Invalid parameters
- System command failures
- Permission issues
- Resource constraints
## Example Usage
```typescript
// Using the MCP tool
const result = await mcp.use_tool('apple-notifier', 'send_notification', {
title: 'Hello',
message: 'This is a test notification',
subtitle: 'Optional subtitle',
sound: true
});
```
## Testing Strategy
1. Unit Tests
- Parameter validation
- Command string generation
- Error handling
2. Integration Tests
- End-to-end notification sending
- MCP tool interface
- Error scenarios
3. Manual Testing
- Visual verification of notifications
- Sound testing
- Different parameter combinations
## Implementation Steps
1. Project Setup
