Node.js (for the npx command) or Python with uv installed (for the uvx or local setup). Optionally, SSH must be enabled on the Mac for remote execution.

Yes. For Python, you can run directly with uvx --from git+https://github.com/peakmojo/applescript-mcp mcp-server-applescript. For Node.js, use npx @peakmojo/applescript-mcp.

Are there any known limitations or security considerations?

The server executes arbitrary AppleScript and shell commands on the Mac. Use caution when granting it access, especially when using remote SSH execution.
