Overview

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

MCP server for Apple iWork automation — 117 tools for Numbers, Pages, and Keynote.

One line to install. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, and any MCP client.

What it does

Ask Claude to build spreadsheets, write documents, and create presentations — it controls the real iWork apps on your Mac through Apple's JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripting bridge.

Numbers — Browse built-in templates (budget, invoice, schedule, etc.) or create from scratch, read/write cells and ranges, set formulas (including cross-sheet references like SUMIFS), sort rows, merge cells, format cells (fonts, colors, backgrounds, alignment, number formats like percent and currency), manage sheets and tables, set column widths and row heights, bulk-create sheets with data and formatting in one call, export to PDF/Excel/CSV.

Pages — Browse built-in templates (resume, report, letter, flyer, newsletter, etc.) or create from scratch, create documents with formatted content in one call, read and insert text at any position, find and replace (preserves formatting), format paragraphs (font, size, color), insert images and tables, export to PDF/Word/EPUB.

Keynote — Browse available themes or create with a specific theme, create presentations with multiple fully-configured slides in one call (layouts, titles, body, notes, transitions), add/delete/duplicate/reorder/skip slides, choose slide layouts from master slides, read slide content, set titles and bullet points, add images and shapes, start/stop slideshows, export to PDF/PowerPoint/HTML.
