What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

        child = spawn(command, args, { cwd: opts.cwd, env: process.env });

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MACOS_MODE (Access mode: read-only | read-write | admin. Starts read-only; writes need read-write.), MACOS_ALLOW_EXEC (Set true to allow run_command / run_applescript / kill_process (admin mode).), MACOS_ALLOW_DELETE (Set true to allow delete_path (moves to Trash; admin mode).), MACOS_ALLOW_INPUT (Set true to allow GUI input (type/key/click; admin mode). Needs Accessibility permission.), MACOS_PATH_ALLOWLIST (Comma-separated path roots the agent may touch (empty = anywhere; protected paths still apply).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
