macOS

Calendar, Reminders, Mail, Safari and screen capture through 28 native MCP tools.

An independent plugin for Codex and Claude Code. Ask your agent to perform the task; MCP is the public interface and scripts are the implementation. Extracted from zyx1121/plugin.

Install

Requires Bun (tested with 1.3.13) and uv on the host PATH.

# Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add zyx1121/marketplace
claude plugin install macos@zyx1121

# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add zyx1121/marketplace
codex plugin add macos@zyx1121

Restart the client session after installation. The committed dist/server.js bundle needs no bun install in the plugin cache. Both manifests are generated from plugin.json and mcp.json; the marketplace pins release commits.

Use

All tools require macOS. Calendar, Reminders, Mail and Safari require uv and osascript; screenshot tools require screencapture. Missing dependencies hide only the affected tools, with reasons on stderr. Linux exposes an empty tool list.

Calendar and Reminders reads use EventKit and do not launch the applications. Grant the calling terminal or host Calendar and Reminders access in macOS privacy settings. App writes and Mail/Safari automation need the corresponding Automation permission. Screen capture needs Screen Recording access. Safari JavaScript requires Develop > Allow JavaScript from Apple Events.

Calendar deletion, reminder completion/deletion and Safari tab closing retain confirm: true. Mail only composes visible drafts; it never sends mail. Safari operates on the live browser, and JavaScript can change the current page. Interactive screenshot area/window tools wait for the user; clipboard capture overwrites the clipboard. File captures default to /tmp/screenshot.png.

Calendar and reminder dates retain the existing English AppleScript format so consumers such as today-mod continue to parse them.

Migration

Install macos@zyx1121 before updating zyx to 0.27.0. Short tool names, parameters, output schemas and confirmation gates are preserved. Claude Code's provider changes from plugin_zyx_utils to plugin_macos_macos. Remove any manual registration of the same server to avoid duplicates.

Update today-mod to 0.3.0 to resolve the installed macos and nycu script paths.

Development

bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run check
claude plugin validate .

Tests are offline: synthetic results, fake executables, isolated bundled MCP sessions and EventKit date-format compatibility. They do not modify live apps, accounts or personal files.

MACOS_MCP_MAX_STRING_CHARS and MACOS_MCP_MAX_TOTAL_CHARS control output truncation (defaults 20000/120000); the corresponding UTILS_ names remain fallbacks. MACOS_FORCE_PLATFORM is a registration-test override and does not emulate another operating system.
