ACMS (Apple Container MCP Server)
ACMS is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides programmatic access to Apple's container CLI tool on macOS. ACMS can be run locally or accessed remotely via HTTP/S.
The point of ACMS is to bring attention to the Containerization package and Container cli efforts. Inspiration for ACMS came from coderunner.
Prerequisites
- Mac with Apple Silicon
- macOS 26+ - It can run on Sequoia with limitations.
- Xcode 26 - required to compile containerization
- Apple Containerization Framework - (required for container functionality)
- Apple Container Cli - installed and in PATH
Quick Start
Install
Either clone the repository or pip install acms in a venv.
Start Apple Container Services
container system start
Start ACMS Server
# Recommended: Use the startup script
./start-acms.sh
# Or start directly with custom options
python3 acms/acms.py --port 8765 --host 127.0.0.1 > acms.log 2>&1 &Configure MCP Client
Add to your MCP client configuration:
claude mcp add --transport http acms http://localhost:8765/mcpUsage Examples
"acms create an ubuntu x64 container ..."
Testing
ACMS includes comprehensive end-to-end testing, just tell Claude to run the "ACMS CLAUDE TEST GUIDE".
Security Considerations
This is not secure, especially if you run it on a remote Mac OS endpoint on your home net. Also, you can lose your data when Claude tries to be helpful.
