- Move mouse cursor to specified coordinates
- Perform left or right mouse clicks
- Send keyboard shortcuts and key combinations
- Scroll in four directions with configurable clicks
- Capture full screen or a region as file path or inline image
- Execute AppleScript code directly or from a file

Install via Homebrew (brew install NakaokaRei/tap/swift-mcp-gui) or from source using swift package experimental-install. Then add the binary path to your MCP client configuration (e.g., /opt/homebrew/bin/swift-mcp-gui on Apple Silicon, /usr/local/bin/swift-mcp-gui on Intel, or ~/.swiftpm/bin/swift-mcp-gui for source builds).

# Swift MCP GUI Server A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows controlling macOS through [SwiftAutoGUI](https://github.com/NakaokaRei/SwiftAutoGUI). This server provides tools for programmatically controlling the mouse and keyboard through MCP clients. ## Requirements - macOS 15.0 or later - Swift 6.0 or later - Xcode 16.0 or later ## Installation ### Homebrew (recommended) Install via the [NakaokaRei/tap](https://github.com/NakaokaRei/homebrew-tap): ```bash brew install NakaokaRei/tap/swift-mcp-gui ``` Then point your MCP client at the installed binary: ```json { "mcpServers": { "swift-mcp-gui": { "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/swift-mcp-gui" } } } ``` On Intel Macs the path is `/usr/local/bin/swift-mcp-gui`. To upgrade later, run `brew upgrade swift-mcp-gui`. ### From source 1. Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/NakaokaRei/swift-mcp-gui.git cd swift-mcp-gui ``` 2. Install ```bash swift package experimental-install ``` 3. Add command to your MCP client. ```json { "mcpServers" : { "swift-mcp-gui" : { "command" : "/Users/USERNAME/.swiftpm/bin/swift-mcp-gui" } } } ``` ## Available Tools The server provides the following tools for controlling macOS: ### 1. Mouse Movement - Tool name: `moveMouse` - Input: - `x`: number (x-coordinate) - accepts integers, doubles, or string representations - `y`: number (y-coordinate) - accepts integers, doubles, or string representations - Moves the mouse cursor to the specified coordinates ### 2. Mouse Clicks - Tool name: `mouseClick` - Input: - `button`: string ("left" or "right") - Performs a mouse click at the current cursor position ### 3. Keyboard Input - Tool name: `sendKeys` - Input: - `keys`: array of strings (key names) - Sends keyboard shortcuts or key combinations - Example keys: "command", "control", "option", "shift", "return", "space", "a", "1", etc. ### 4. Scrolling - Tool name: `scroll` - Input: - `direction`: string ("up", "down", "left", "right") - `clicks`: number (number of scroll clicks) - Performs scrolling in the specified direction ### 5. Screen Size - Tool name: `getScreenSize` - Returns the main screen dimensions (width and height) ### 6. Pixel Color - Tool name: `getPixelColor` - Input: - `x`: number (x-coordinate) - accepts integers, doubles, or string representations - `y`: number (y-coordinate) - accepts integers, doubles, or string representations - Returns the RGBA color values (0-255) of the pixel at the specified coordinates ### 7. Capture Screen - Tool name: `captureScreen` - Input: - `quality`: number (optional, 0.0-1.0, default: 0.5) - JPEG compression quality - `scale`: number (optional, 0.1-1.0, default: 0.25) - Scale factor for image size - `output`: string (optional, "path" or "image", default: "path") - Output format - `output: "path"` (default): Saves to a temporary file and returns the file path with dimensions. Reduces token consumption. - `output: "image"`: Returns inline image content for AI vision (e.g. Claude) ### 8. Capture Region - Tool name: `captureRegion` - Input: - `x`: number (x-coordinate of the region) - `y`: number (y-coordinate of the region) - `width`: number (width of the region) - `height`: number (height of the region) - `quality`: number (optional, 0.0-1.0, default: 0.5) - JPEG compression quality - `scale`: number (optional, 0.1-1.0, default: 0.25) - Scale factor for image size - `output`: string (optional, "path" or "image", default: "path") - Output format - `output: "path"` (default): Saves to a temporary file and returns the file path with dimensions. Reduces token consumption. - `output: "image"`: Returns inline image content for AI vision (e.g. Claude) ### 9. Save Screenshot - Tool name: `saveScreenshot` - Input: - `filename`: string (path to save the screenshot) - `x`: number (optional, x-coordinate of the region) - `y`: number (optional, y-coordinate of the region) - `width`: number (optional, width of the region) - `height`: number (optional, height of the region) - `quality`: number (optional, 0.0-1.0, default: 0.1) - JPEG compression quality - `scale`: number (optional, 0.1-1.0, default: 0.25) - Scale factor for image size - Captures the screen or a region and saves it to a file - File format is determined by the filename extension (.jpg, .jpeg, .png) - Quality parameter only affects JPEG files ### 10. Execute AppleScript - Tool name: `executeAppleScript` - Input: - `script`: string (AppleScript code to execute) - Executes AppleScript code directly and returns the result - Returns "AppleScript Result: <result>" if the script returns a value - Returns "AppleScript executed successfully (no result returned)" if the script completes without returning a value ### 11. Execute AppleScript File - Tool name: `executeAppleScriptFile` - Input: - `path`: string (path to the AppleScript file) - Executes an AppleScript from a file and returns the result - Returns "AppleScript Result: <result>" if the script returns a value - Returns "AppleScript file executed successfully (no result returned): <path>" if the script completes without returning a value ## Security Considerations This server requires full accessibility permissions in System Preferences to control your mouse and keyboard. Be careful when running it and only connect trusted MCP clients. ## License MIT License
