Swift MCP GUI Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows controlling macOS through 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

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/NakaokaRei/swift-mcp-gui.git
cd swift-mcp-gui

1. Install

swift package experimental-install

1. Add command to your MCP client.

{
  "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: 0.1) - JPEG compression quality
  • scale: number (optional, 0.1-1.0, default: 0.25) - Scale factor for image size
• Captures the entire screen and returns it as a base64-encoded JPEG image
• Default settings (10% quality, 25% scale) optimize for fast processing and prevent timeouts

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: 0.1) - JPEG compression quality
  • scale: number (optional, 0.1-1.0, default: 0.25) - Scale factor for image size
• Captures a specific screen region and returns it as a base64-encoded JPEG image
• Default settings optimize for fast processing

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: " 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: " if the script returns a value
• Returns "AppleScript file executed successfully (no result returned): " 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.
