About Apple Shortcuts

A community MCP server for listing and running local macOS Shortcuts, with optional inputs passed to the selected shortcut.

What you can use it for

  • productivity
  • developer tools
Connection and setup
Hosting
Local stdio process
Transport
stdio
Endpoint
Local process; no hosted endpoint documented
Authentication
No credentials were configured; the tested read-only tool “list_shortcuts” succeeded in an isolated environment. Other tools may have additional requirements.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • The public install config and runtime call passed; npm metadata did not declare a repository URL.

Setup steps

  1. npx -y mcp-server-apple-shortcuts@1.0.1
Tools 2

The repository targets macOS Shortcuts automation; both stored tools align with listed behaviors.

    Parameters: name, input
    01
  • list_shortcuts

    List all available shortcuts

Limitations and notes
  • Runtime verification covered one read-only tool call (list_shortcuts); other listed tools were not individually exercised.
  • The npm package metadata did not declare a repository URL; the repository link comes from the public MCP.Directory profile.

  • maintainer repository documentation

    Maintainer README describes list-shortcuts and run-shortcut functionality; the two stored tools match its documented surface.
