Native tooling for Apple Silicon Macs — filling the gaps in Apple's own platform tools.
MacOSTools builds small, focused, open-source tools that plug the gaps left by Apple's own developer tooling on macOS — starting with Apple's container, the native Linux-container runtime for Apple Silicon.
Apple's tools are good. They also ship v1.0 without everything everyone immediately needs. That's what lives here.
AI-agent integration and Docker Compose support for Apple's container:
| 🤖 MCP server | Exposes the full container CLI (run, list, stop, delete, logs, exec, inspect, images, system control) as tools for AI agents like Claude Code |
| 🧩 container-compose | Runs standard, unmodified docker-compose.yml files on top of container — which has no native Compose support as of v1.0.0 |
| 📖 Claude Code skill | Documents both tools so an AI agent knows when and how to use them |
Verified end-to-end against a real container v1.0.0 install — including a working fix for cross-container service-name resolution, which container doesn't provide natively.

This org is just getting started. More tools will land here as gaps in Apple's native developer tooling get identified and closed — expect this list to grow.
