Manage macOS launchd jobs from MCP tools with support for Python-script tasks, scheduling, logs, and lifecycle management.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
list_servicesList launchd services from `launchctl list`.
print_servicePrint detailed state for a launchd target via `launchctl print`.
kickstart_serviceStart or restart a service via `launchctl kickstart`.
bootstrap_serviceLoad a launchd plist into a domain via `launchctl bootstrap`.
bootout_serviceUnload or remove a service/domain via `launchctl bootout`.
enable_serviceEnable a service via `launchctl enable`.
disable_serviceDisable a service via `launchctl disable`.
list_plistsList available launchd plist files from common locations.
create_or_update_python_taskCreate/update a LaunchAgent from a Python script string and load it.
remove_python_taskUnload and remove a task created by create_or_update_python_task.
list_python_tasksList managed tasks matching `{label_prefix}.*`.
get_python_task_logsFetch per-task execution logs (stdout/stderr).
Tool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
12/12 tools missing one or more hints — list_services (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); print_service (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); kickstart_service (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +9 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — remove_python_task deletes at line 547 (plist_path.unlink())
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 0/12 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
