MCP My Mac

A lightweight server that exposes Mac system information via a simple API, allowing AI assistants like Claude to access real-time system information about your Mac. This tool is primarily designed for Mac users who want to experiment with AI and Deep Learning on their machines.

Status: BETA - This project is currently in beta. We’re actively looking for feedback to improve functionality and user experience. Please share your thoughts and suggestions!

Why Use It?

• Provides Claude Desktop or other MCP clients with access to your Mac’s hardware specifications, system configuration, and resource usage
• Enables more targeted and accurate assistance for software optimization and troubleshooting
• Runs as a secure local API with minimal overhead
• Only executes safe, verified commands:
  • system_profiler - to gather system information
  • conda - to analyze Python environment configurations

Installation

Method 1: Using UV + Git Clone

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• UV package manager installed

Steps

1. Clone the repository: bash git clone git@github.com:zhongmingyuan/mcp-my-mac.git
