mcp-server-siri-shortcuts

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.

• 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

1. 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" }]
   }

2. open_shortcut

   • Opens a shortcut in the Shortcuts app
   • Input:
     • name (string): Name of the shortcut to open

3. 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

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

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.

Add to your Claude configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "siri-shortcuts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-siri-shortcuts"],
      "env": {
        "GENERATE_SHORTCUT_TOOLS": "true",
        "INJECT_SHORTCUT_LIST": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Uses the macOS shortcuts CLI command under the hood
• Sanitizes shortcut names for tool naming compatibility
• Supports both direct text input and file-based input
• Returns shortcut output when available
• Implements standard MCP error handling
