Siri Shortcuts MCP Server

This MCP server provides access to Siri shortcuts functionality via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows listing, opening, and running shortcuts from the macOS Shortcuts app.

Features

Exposes all shortcuts, meaning the LLM can call anything that is available in the Shortcuts app.
List all available shortcuts
Open shortcuts in the Shortcuts app
Run shortcuts with optional input parameters
Dynamically generated tools for each available shortcut

Tools

Base Tools

list_shortcuts
- Lists all available Siri shortcuts on the system
- No input required
- Returns: Array of shortcut names
```
{
  "shortcuts": [{ "name": "My Shortcut 1" }, { "name": "My Shortcut 2" }]
}
```
open_shortcut
- Opens a shortcut in the Shortcuts app
- Input:
  - name (string): Name of the shortcut to open
run_shortcut
- Runs a shortcut with optional input
- Input:
  - name (string): Name or identifier (UUID) of the shortcut to run
  - input (string, optional): Text input or filepath to pass to the shortcut

Dynamic Tools

The server automatically generates additional tools for each available shortcut in the format:

Tool name: run_shortcut_[sanitized_shortcut_name]
Description: Runs the specific shortcut
Input:
- input (string, optional): Text input or filepath to pass to the shortcut

Configuration

The server supports the following environment variables:

GENERATE_SHORTCUT_TOOLS (default: true): When set to false, disables the generation of dynamic shortcut tools. Only the base tools (list_shortcuts, open_shortcut, run_shortcut) will be available.
INJECT_SHORTCUT_LIST (default: false): When set to true, injects the list of available shortcuts into the run_shortcut tool description to help the LLM understand which shortcuts are available.
