Give ChatGPT a real terminal on your Mac. Open-source MCP bridge for shell, files, PTY sessions, jobs, and Codex history.
Give ChatGPT a real terminal on your Mac.
Mac Developer Bridge turns a ChatGPT conversation into the reasoning layer for your actual Mac. It can run shell commands, edit files, start interactive terminal sessions, manage long-running jobs, and read stored Codex threads without starting another Codex model turn.
Example: “Find the Codex session I was working on yesterday, inspect the live repo, fix CI, push the result, and tell me what changed.”
That is the kind of workflow this project is built for.
[!WARNING] Mac Developer Bridge deliberately gives an MCP client the effective permissions of your macOS user. It is not sandboxed and has no command or path allowlist. Read SECURITY.md before enabling it.
ChatGPT has the reasoning. Your Mac has the source code, terminal, credentials, build tools, local services, and work in progress. Mac Developer Bridge connects the two over MCP without adding another model or agent loop in the middle.
The bridge itself makes no OpenAI model call. It exposes deterministic local tools; ChatGPT supplies the reasoning. The Codex-history tools use read-only codex app-server methods and never call turn/start.
- Recover a stored Codex thread, inspect the repo it refers to, and continue the work from ChatGPT. - Run tests, builds, Git, package managers, database CLIs, AppleScript, and other tools already installed on your Mac. - Keep interactive shells and terminal programs alive through a real PTY instead of pretending stdin is a terminal. - Start long-running local jobs, inspect their logs later, and stop the whole process group. - Read and m
