dockndevai/mcp-macos
Safe-by-default control of a Mac: read files, list processes & apps, take screenshots, read the clipboard; and behind explicit opt-ins, run shell commands (allowlisted), AppleScript, move files to Trash, and inject GUI input. Read-only by default with layered access modes, per-path/command allowlists, and human confirmation (MCP elicitation) on the dangerous calls. npx -y @dockndevai/mcp-macos

Overview
A safe-by-default Model Context Protocol server that lets an agent observe and operate a Mac — read files, list processes and apps, take screenshots (read-only); write files, set the clipboard, post notifications, open things (read-write); and, behind explicit opt-ins, run commands / AppleScript, delete to Trash, kill processes and drive the GUI (admin).

OS Automation
faze79/WPFVisualTreeMcp
Inspect, debug and drive running WPF (.NET desktop) apps: visual tree, dependency properties, data bindings and binding errors, DataContext, and screenshots with open popups/menus included, plus clicking, item selection, text input and keyboard shortcuts. Auto-injects into any running WPF process (x64/x86) with no source changes. `dotnet tool install -g WpfVisualTreeMcp`
OS Automation
fixed-width/glass
Gives a coding agent a build → see → interact → debug loop over the native GUI app it is writing: launch the app, screenshot it, read its accessibility tree, inject mouse/keyboard/gestures, tail its logs, and diff frames to confirm a change landed. Drives apps as an external black box with no app integration, so any toolkit or language works. 30 tools with text-first responses (element ids, diffs, waits) so the agent need not screenshot every step, plus optional sandboxing of the launched app. Backends: X11, Wayland, Windows, macOS, Android emulators, and the iOS Simulator.
OS Automation
Dominic-DK/askew-mcp
Let an agent use a real iPhone, iPad or Mac through Apple Shortcuts: run a Shortcut on a locked phone and get the result back, send lock-screen notifications, and read what the phone sends (Calendar, Reminders, Notes, HomeKit, Wallet events). End-to-end encrypted relay, one automation on the phone. `npx -y askew-mcp`
