A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides macOS utility tools for AI assistants.

Features

  • Native macOS Notifications: Send system notifications with different types (success, error, info, warning)
  • Auto Project Detection: Automatically detects and includes the current project name in notifications
  • Notification Logging: All notifications are logged to ~/.mcp-notifications.log for audit trail
  • TypeScript Support: Fully typed for better development experience

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone <repository-url>
cd mcp-macos-utils
  1. Run the install script:
./install.sh

This will:

  • Install npm dependencies
