What is MCP Server Siri Shortcuts
MCP Server Siri Shortcuts is an open-source project developed by David Mohl that bridges the capabilities of the macOS Siri Shortcuts app with AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server exposes all available Siri shortcuts on a system and allows external tools, such as large language models (LLMs), to list, open, and execute these shortcuts programmatically. By leveraging MCP, the server enables seamless integration between automation workflows on macOS and intelligent agents, making it possible for users and automation systems to interact with their personalized shortcuts in a dynamic, scriptable manner.
