Description

Apple MCP Server provides a lightweight server for controlling macOS applications via AppleScript, with built-in tools for managing Spotify playback and opening iTerm. Developed by bhwang, this implementation enables programmatic interaction with specific macOS apps through simple, predefined commands like playing music or launching terminal windows. The server uses the Model Context Protocol SDK to expose these system control capabilities as callable tools.
