Show HN: Apple Container MCP Server (ACMS) (github.com)

ACMS (Apple Container MCP Server) is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes Apple’s container CLI on macOS programmatically over HTTP/S and WebSocket using FastMCP. It implements 50+ container operations across nine functional categories, includes robust parameter validation (accepting JSON strings and native arrays), and ships with end-to-end tests and a "CLAUDE TEST GUIDE" for automated verification. You can install via pip or git, start the underlying container system (container system start; container system status), and launch the server with the provided startup script or python3 acms/acms.py --port 8765 --host 127.0.0.1. Example client integration: claude mcp add --transport http acms http://localhost:8765/mcp. This matters for AI/ML teams that need repeatable, programmatic control of macOS container environments—particularly on Apple Silicon—because it lets model orchestration, testing, and deployment workflows (including those driven by MCP-aware agents) interface directly with native macOS containerization. Key technical constraints: macOS 26+ (can run on Sequoia with limitations), Xcode 26, Apple Containerization Framework and Apple Container CLI in PATH, and Python 3.8+. Although promoted as production-ready with full test coverage, running ACMS on a remotely accessible macOS endpoint is explicitly insecure and should be protected or limited to trusted networks.
