# mcp-server-chatgpt-mac-app
This is an MCP server that allows you to use the ChatGPT macOS app via MCP.
The original version was written in Python as [mcp-server-chatgpt-app](https://github.com/cdpath/mcp-server-chatgpt-app),
and this project is a TypeScript implementation of it.
## Prerequisite
- [ChatGPT macOS app](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/)
- [Install the "Ask ChatGPT on Mac" shortcuts](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f8f249e8fce7450291f385874c64c6eb)
- Node.js
## Using npx
The MCP server can be used via npx,
and you can choose to use it either globally on your macOS system or within any local project.
### Global Usage
If you want to use it globally, run the following command in your CLI.
```bash
claude mcp add chatGPTOnMac -s user \
-- npx mcp-server-chatgpt-mac-app
```
### Local Project Usage
If you want to use it in any local directory,
add the following to your `.mcp.json`.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"chatGPTOnMac": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-server-chatgpt-mac-app"],
"cwd": ".",
"env": {}
}
}
}
```
### How to check if the MCP server has been added

```bash
claude mcp list
```
If the output looks like the following, everything is set up correctly.
