ACMS
Let your agent drive Apple’s container CLI on macOS for local images, runs, and dev environments without memorizing every subcommand.
Overview
ACMS is an MCP server for the Operate phase that exposes Apple’s macOS container CLI to your agent over a local HTTP MCP endpoint.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP bridge to Apple’s native container CLI on macOS
- Local streamable-http transport on localhost:8765/mcp
- PyPI package identifier ACMS at version 0.1.0
- stdio-style agent workflows via HTTP MCP on the same host
- GitHub-hosted gattjoe/ACMS for self-hosted inspection
- Server version 0.1.0
- 1 PyPI package (identifier ACMS)
- Default transport URL http://localhost:8765/mcp
What problem does it solve?
Mac-based solo builders lose time translating container tasks into exact Apple CLI flags while their agent sits idle without structured tool access.
Who is it for?
Developers on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs who already use Apple’s container CLI and want agent-driven local run/debug loops.
Skip if: Linux-only pipelines, Kubernetes cluster management, or teams without macOS and Apple container tooling installed.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can invoke container operations through MCP on localhost so local infra tasks stay repeatable and documented in chat history.
- Agent-executable container build and run actions on Mac
- Documented local MCP endpoint for team reuse
- Faster debug cycles without leaving the IDE chat
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
After you build on a Mac, day-to-day iteration depends on reproducible containers; operations-phase infra tooling keeps local parity with what you ship. Infra subphase covers container lifecycle on your machine—build, run, inspect—not frontend polish or growth analytics.
How it compares
Local macOS container MCP bridge, not a multi-cloud Terraform or Fly.io deploy skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ACMS for?
Solo Mac developers who want Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agents to run Apple container CLI workflows through MCP instead of manual terminal typing.
When should I use ACMS?
Use it during operate and local ship prep when you rebuild images, restart services, or debug containerized apps on your Mac development machine.
How do I add ACMS to my agent?
Install the ACMS PyPI package, start the server so it listens at http://localhost:8765/mcp, then add that streamable-http MCP URL in your agent client configuration.
