io.github.dockndevai/mcp-mac-controlv0.1.0Cloud Storage

Full macOS control — drive a Mac like a human: shell, AppleScript, files, and human-like GUI.

The current version, v0.1.0, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-09-17. It is distributed as @dockndevai/mcp-mac-control on npm, filed under Cloud Storage by this index, and declares 5 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

Using io.github.dockndevai/mcp-mac-control in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- screen model 8b

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-09-18).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins io.github.dockndevai/mcp-mac-control’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Cite this record

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

Environment variables

MACCTL_SAFE_MODE

Set true to invert to safe-by-default: read-only, all powers gated, confirmations on. Default false (full control).

MACCTL_MODE

Access mode: read-only | read-write | admin. Defaults to admin (or read-only in safe mode).

MACCTL_CONFIRM

Set true to require human approval (via MCP elicitation) on destructive ops. Default off in full control.

MACCTL_PATH_ALLOWLIST

Comma-separated path roots the agent may touch (empty = anywhere).

MACCTL_PROTECTED_PATHS

Comma-separated path roots that may be read but never modified/deleted (empty by default in full control).

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 967,367). Verify it yourself.
