Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `mac-control-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **macOS 14.0 or later** — This server only supports macOS 14.0+.
- **Install the prebuilt MacControlMCP app** — Download the universal macOS release archive, extract it, and move MacControlMCP.app to ~/Applications/. This is the simplest portable path for non-Claude-Desktop clients. (https://github.com/AdelElo13/mac-control-mcp/releases/download/v0.2.6/MacControlMCP-v0.2.6-macos-universal.tar.gz)
- **Grant macOS permissions on first use** — The first tool call triggers macOS TCC consent prompts. Grant Screen Recording, Accessibility, and Apple Events permissions once.

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `<your-home>/Applications/MacControlMCP.app/Contents/MacOS/MacControlMCP`
- args: []

Note: Preferred canonical config is stdio using the prebuilt signed app binary. The README also offers a Claude Desktop .mcpb bundle and MCP Registry install, but those are client-specific install flows rather than canonical command/args/env config. No environment variables are required.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
