# Crystal > Crystal is an MCP server that provides AI assistants with access to macOS system information and controls. Crystal is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to give AI assistants access to macOS system information and controls. It enables AI models to interact with your Mac's native features, providing a bridge between AI assistants and system-level functionality on macOS. The tool allows AI assistants to query and interact with various macOS system components, making it easier to build AI-powered workflows that can access local system data and perform actions on your behalf. - **MCP Server Implementation** - Crystal implements the Model Context Protocol, allowing compatible AI assistants to communicate with macOS system features through a standardized interface. - **macOS System Access** - Provides AI assistants with the ability to query system information and interact with macOS-specific features and controls. - **Open Source** - Fully open-source project hosted on GitHub under the stravu organization, allowing developers to inspect, modify, and contribute to the codebase. - **Local Integration** - Runs locally on your Mac, enabling AI assistants to access system information without sending data to external servers. To get started with Crystal, clone the repository from GitHub and follow the installation instructions in the README. The project is designed for developers who want to extend their AI assistants' capabilities to interact with macOS system features. Crystal requires macOS to run and integrates with MCP-compatible AI clients. ## Features - MCP server implementation - macOS system information access - AI assistant integration - Local system controls - Open source ## Integrations Model Context Protocol (MCP), macOS ## Platforms MACOS, WEB, API ## Pricing Open Source ## Links - Website: https://github.com/stravu/crystal - Documentation: https://github.com/stravu/crystal - Repository: https://github.com/stravu/crystal - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/crystal
