Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01433 | $0.01433 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00717 | $0.00717 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00287 | $0.00287 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00143 | $0.00143 |
Grade A, and why
macos-ecosystem-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview
macos-ecosystem-mcp is a native Swift Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that
exposes macOS productivity apps — Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, Notes and iMessage — to
MCP clients over stdio. It compiles to a single self-contained binary (macos-mcp);
there is no Node.js runtime at run time.
- Package name:
macos-mcp(executable target of the same name) - Server identity:
macos-ecosystem-mcp, version0.7.0(hard-coded inApp.swift) - Platform: macOS 13+, Swift tools 5.9
- Sole dependency:
modelcontextprotocol/swift-sdk(from: 0.9.0) - Linked:
CoreLocation,Contactsframeworks +sqlite3
Architecture
All source lives in one flat target: Sources/macos-mcp/.
| File | Role |
|---|---|
App.swift |
@main entry point. Boots managers, requests permissions, registers ListTools/CallTool handlers, and contains the single switch tool dispatcher. Also defines log(). |
ToolDefinitions.swift |
let allTools: [Tool] — every tool's name, description and JSON input schema. |
EventKitManager.swift |
Reminders + Calendar via EventKit (no subprocess). |
ContactsManager.swift |
Contacts via the Contacts framework. |
NotesHandler.swift |
Notes via osascript (Notes.framework is private). Static methods, no instance. |
MessagesManager.swift |
iMessage: reads query ~/Library/Messages/chat.db (SQLite, read-only); sends go through osascript. |
Design notes worth knowing before editing:
- stdout is reserved for the MCP protocol. All diagnostics go to stderr via
log(). Neverprint()to stdout. - Every tool handler has the shape
func name(args: [String: Value]) async throws -> Stringand returns a plain-text string;dispatchinApp.swiftwraps it inCallTool.Resultand converts thrown errors intoisError: trueresults. - Permissions (
EventKit,Contacts) are requested once at startup, before any request is served. - iMessage sending is fail-closed: it is disabled until an allowlist is configured via
the
MACOS_MCP_IMESSAGE_ALLOWLISTenv var (comma-separated) and/or~/.config/macos-mcp/imessage-allowlist.json({"allow": [...]}). Phone numbers match on the last 10 digits. Attachments from~/.config/macos-mcpand~/Library/Messagesare refused. Readingchat.dband sending both require Full Disk Access.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
