Homebrew MCP Server

MCPOpen SourceMIT36.2

by jeannier • Documentation & Docs

An MCP server that exposes Homebrew commands as MCP tools so LLM agents (e.g., Claude Desktop) can manage Homebrew packages on macOS.

Example Use Cases

1
Install, uninstall, upgrade, pin/unpin, or clean Homebrew packages on a macOS host via MCP tool calls.
2
Discover and inspect packages (search, info, list, outdated, deps) and produce summaries or recommendations about installed software.
3
Run Homebrew diagnostics and maintenance (brew doctor, update, tap/untap, services) and surface actionable fixes to users.

Description

This Python-based MCP server runs real brew commands via subprocess and exposes a comprehensive set of Homebrew operations (install, uninstall, search, info, update, doctor, taps, services, etc.) as MCP tools. It's MCP spec-compliant for stdio/JSON-RPC and designed for integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other MCP-compatible clients. The project logs all requests/results, is implemented in functional/declarative Python, and is intended for use on macOS with Homebrew installed.
