About achiya-automation/safari-mcp
Safari MCP is a native Safari browser automation tool for AI agents, providing 97 tools via AppleScript and JavaScript. It runs silently in the background, keeps existing logins and sessions, and offers a drop-in alternative to Chrome DevTools MCP with 40-60% less CPU usage on Apple Silicon. It requires no additional browsers like Chrome, Puppeteer, or Playwright, and operates with ~5ms per command by reusing a single osascript process. Built for macOS only, it enables AI coding agents to interact with the user's actual Safari browser, supporting frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular.
