Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Give your AI direct control of Calendar, Mail, Notes, Reminders, Messages, and any other Mac app over the Model Context Protocol — an MCP server for Mac plus Computer Use for macOS, fully on-device.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Raycast, VS Code, Warp, Zed, LM Studio, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

This repo packages Macuse for agent clients: the Claude Desktop `.mcpb` installer and the agent plugin for Claude Code and Codex. The macOS app itself and the full docs live at macuse.app.

All three connect to the same local server. The plugin additionally installs skills — instructions that teach the agent how to use the tools correctly instead of discovering the parameter shapes by trial and error.

What Macuse Does

Two complementary ways for AI to work with your Mac. Everything runs locally — your data never leaves your device.

Native App Integrations

Your AI reads and writes directly to macOS apps through natural conversation.
