baryhuang/mcp-remote-macos-use: The only general AI agent that does NOT requires extra API key, giving you full control on your local and remote MacOs from Claude Desktop App

MCP Server - Remote MacOs Use

The first open-source MCP server that enables AI to fully control remote macOS systems.

A direct alternative to OpenAI Operator, optimized specifically for autonomous AI agents with complete desktop capabilities, requiring no additional software installation.

We welcome contributions!

No Extra API Costs: Free screen processing with your existing Claude Pro plan
Minimal Setup: Just enable Screen Sharing on the target Mac – no additional software needed
Universal Compatibility: Works with all macOS versions, current and future

Native macOS Experience Without Compromise

The macOS native ecosystem remains unmatched in user experience today and will continue to be the gold standard for years to come. This is where human capabilities truly thrive, and now your AI can operate in this environment with the same fluency.

Open Architecture By Design

Universal LLM Compatibility: Work with any MCP Client of your choice
Model Flexibility: Seamlessly integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other LLM provider
Future-Proof Integration: Designed to evolve with the MCP ecosystem

Zero Setup on Target Machines: No background applications or agents needed on macOS
Screen Sharing is All You Need: Control any Mac with Screen Sharing enabled
Eliminate Backend Complexity: Unlike other solutions that require running Python applications or background services

Streamlined Bootstrap Process

Leverage Claude Desktop's Polished UI: No need for developer-style Python interfaces
Intuitive User Experience: Interact with your AI-controlled Mac through a familiar, user-friendly interface
Instant Productivity: Start working immediately without configuration hassles

Enable Screen Sharing on MacOs If you rent a mac from macstadium.com, you can skip this step
Connect to your remote MacOs
Install Docker Desktop for local Mac
Add this MCP server to Claude Desktop You can configure Claude Desktop to use the Docker image by adding the following to your Claude configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remote-macos-use": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "-e",
        "MACOS_USERNAME=your_macos_username",
        "-e",
        "MACOS_PASSWORD=your_macos_password",
        "-e",
        "MACOS_HOST=your_macos_hostname_or_ip",
        "--rm",
        "buryhuang/mcp-remote-macos-use:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

WebRTC Support via LiveKit

This server now includes WebRTC support through LiveKit integration, enabling:

Low-latency real-time screen sharing
Improved performance and responsiveness
Better network efficiency compared to traditional VNC
Automatic quality adaptation based on network conditions

To use WebRTC features, you'll need to:

Set up a LiveKit server or use LiveKit Cloud
Configure the LiveKit environment variables as shown in the configuration example above

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-remote-macos-use.git
cd mcp-remote-macos-use

Building the Docker Image

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t mcp-remote-macos-use .

Cross-Platform Publishing

To publish the Docker image for multiple platforms, you can use the docker buildx command. Follow these steps:

Create a new builder instance (if you haven't already):
```
docker buildx create --use
```

Build and push the image for multiple platforms:

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t buryhuang/mcp-remote-macos-use:latest --push .

Verify the image is available for the specified platforms:

docker buildx imagetools inspect buryhuang/mcp-remote-macos-use:latest

The server provides Remote MacOs functionality through MCP tools.

The server provides the following tools for remote macOS control:

Connect to a remote macOS machine and get a screenshot of the remote desktop. Uses environment variables for connection details.

Send keyboard input to a remote macOS machine. Uses environment variables for connection details.

Move the mouse cursor to specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables for connection details.

Perform a mouse click at specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables for connection details.

remote_macos_mouse_double_click

Perform a mouse double-click at specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables for connection details.

remote_macos_mouse_scroll

Perform a mouse scroll at specified coordinates on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling. Uses environment variables for connection details.

remote_macos_open_application

Opens/activates an application and returns its PID for further interactions.

remote_macos_mouse_drag_n_drop

Perform a mouse drag operation from start point and drop to end point on a remote macOS machine, with automatic coordinate scaling.

All tools use the environment variables configured during setup instead of requiring connection parameters.

Authentication Support:
- Only Apple Authentication (protocol 30) is supported

https://support.apple.com/guide/remote-desktop/encrypt-network-data-apdfe8e386b/mac https://cafbit.com/post/apple_remote_desktop_quirks/

We only support protocol 30, which uses the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol with a 512-bit prime. This protocol is used by macOS 11 to macOS 12 when communicating with OS X 10.11 or earlier clients.

Here's the information converted to a markdown table:

macOS version running Remote Desktop macOS client version Authentication Control and Observe Copy items or install package All other tasks Protocol Version macOS 13 macOS 13 2048-bit RSA host keys 2048-bit RSA host keys 2048-bit RSA host keys to authenticate, then 128-bit AES 2048-bit RSA host keys 36 macOS 13 macOS 10.12 Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol for local only. Diffie-Hellman (DH) if bound to LDAP or macOS server is version 10.11 or earlier SRP or DH,128-bit AES SRP or DH to authenticate, then 128-bit AES 2048-bit RSA host keys 35 macOS 11 to macOS 12 macOS 10.12 to macOS 13 Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol for local only, Diffie-Hellman if bound to LDAP SRP or DH 1024-bit, 128-bit AES 2048-bit RSA host keys macOS 13 to macOS 10.13 2048-bit RSA host keys macOS 10.13 or later 33 macOS 11 to macOS 12 OS X 10.11 or earlier DH 1024-bit DH 1024-bit, 128-bit AES Diffie-Hellman Key agreement protocol with a 512-bit prime Diffie-Hellman Key agreement protocol with a 512-bit prime 30

Always use secure, authenticated connections when accessing remote remote MacOs machines. This tool should only be used with servers you trust and have permission to access.
