README
Keyboard Maestro MCP
An MCP server for Keyboard Maestro. Manage your macros with natural language commands.
What Can You Do?
Instead of digging through menus and clicking buttons, just ask:
| Just say... |
|---|
| "Run my morning routine macro" |
| "Create a macro that types my email signature when I press Cmd+Shift+S" |
| "What macros have been failing lately? Fix them." |
| "Duplicate my 'Open Project' macro and modify it for the new client" |
| "Disable all my work macros, I'm on vacation" |
Your AI assistant becomes a power user of your Mac. It can read, create, modify, run, and debug your Keyboard Maestro macros through conversation.
Real-World Examples
| Use Case | Example |
|---|---|
| Debugging | "My clipboard manager macro stopped working yesterday. Check the logs and tell me what went wrong." |
| Bulk Editing | "I have 20 macros that open Chrome. Change them all to open Arc instead." |
| Quick Automation | "Make a macro that mounts my NAS drives when I connect to my home WiFi." |
| Organization | "Create a new macro group called 'Client Work' and move all macros with 'ACME' in the name into it." |
[!IMPORTANT] This MCP gives your AI full access to Keyboard Maestro. It can run, modify, and delete macros. Always review suggested changes before approving them.
