MCP.Pizza Chef: baryhuang

Screen Sharing is the only thing the Mac being controlled needs — nothing extra gets installed on it. From Claude Desktop the assistant takes a picture of that Mac's desktop, moves and clicks the mouse, types, scrolls and opens applications, which is how the demos drive Twitter, CapCut and Mail. Running it means Docker plus the Mac's username, password and address in a settings file. The last real change landed in mid-2025, so expect no active support.

mcp-remote-macos-use FAQ

Is this still being maintained?
Not really. The last real change was mid-2025, so treat it as a working experiment rather than a supported product.
Can I use this to control my own Mac?
Yes, local or remote, as long as Screen Sharing is switched on for that machine.
Do I need an extra paid key?
No. The author's whole pitch is that it runs on your existing Claude plan with no separate paid key for reading the screen.
What has to be installed?
Docker on the machine running your assistant, and Screen Sharing enabled on the Mac being controlled. Nothing else goes on the target Mac.
Which apps does it work in?
It was built for Claude Desktop and also works with Cursor and other assistants that read a standard MCP settings file.
Is it safe to give it my Mac password?
Your username and password sit in a settings file on your own machine. Treat it like any other saved login, and only point it at a Mac you own.
