Use Caution3.2High Risk

This MCP server provides comprehensive macOS desktop automation capabilities with proper permission checking and appropriate warnings. However, it has significant security concerns including hardcoded API key exposure, inadequate input validation for path traversal attacks, and overly broad permissions that extend beyond typical developer tools. The extensive system access combined with these vulnerabilities creates moderate security risks. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
