# Split Screen Mac Test MCP Server
MCP server that exposes macOS split-screen tools via native PyObjC/Quartz APIs for maximum performance and reliability.
## Features
- **Native macOS implementation**: Uses PyObjC, Quartz, and AppKit for direct system access
- **Split-screen layouts**: Halves, quadrants, thirds, and two-thirds variations
- **Window controls**: Maximize, minimize, and fullscreen
- **MCP integration**: Full Model Context Protocol server support
- **No startup issues**: Screen detection only happens when tools are called
## MCP Client Configuration
Use this exact configuration in your MCP client:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"split-screen-mac-test": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["split-screen-mac-test-mcp"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
```
## Setup for uvx (Required)
For the above configuration to work, you need to install PyObjC first:
```bash
# Install PyObjC in your current Python environment
pip install pyobjc-framework-cocoa
# Then your MCP client can use uvx to run the server
```
## Alternative Installation Methods
### Option 1: Install from PyPI (Most Reliable)
```bash
pip install split-screen-mac-test
```
Then use this MCP configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"split-screen-mac-test": {
"command": "split-screen-mac-test-mcp",
"args": [],
"env": {}
}
}
}
```
### Option 2: Clone and run locally
```bash
git clone <your-repo>
cd split-screen-mac-test
uvx --from . split-screen-mac-test-mcp
```
## Available Tools
- `left-half-screen` - Snap current window to left half
- `right-half-screen` - Snap current window to right half
- `top-half-screen` - Snap current window to top half
- `bottom-half-screen` - Snap current window to bottom half
- `top-left-screen` - Top-left quadrant
- `top-right-screen` - Top-right quadrant
- `bottom-left-screen` - Bottom-left quadrant
- `bottom-right-screen` - Bottom-right quadrant
- `left-one-third-screen` - Left third (1/3)
- `middle-one-third-screen` - Middle third (1/3)
- `right-one-third-screen` - Right third (1/3)
- `left-two-thirds-screen` - Left two-thirds (2/3)
- `right-two-thirds-screen` - Right two-thirds (2/3)
- `maximize-screen` - OS maximize (bordered)
- `fullscreen-screen` - Fullscreen (no borders)
- `minimize-screen` - Minimize window
## Technical Details
- **Platform**: macOS only (uses native PyObjC APIs)
- **Dependencies**:
- `mcp>=0.1.0`
- `pyobjc-framework-cocoa>=9.0` (required for uvx)
- **Architecture**: Direct system calls via Quartz/AppKit for maximum performance
- **Startup**: Safe MCP initialization with lazy screen detection
## Troubleshooting
### ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'AppKit'
This error occurs when PyObjC is not available. Solutions:
1. **For uvx users**: Install PyObjC first: `pip install pyobjc-framework-cocoa`
2. **Use pip installation**: `pip install split-screen-mac-test` (more reliable)
3. **Check Python version**: Ensure you're using Python 3.9+ with PyObjC support
### uvx Import Issues
If you're using `uvx` and getting import errors:
1. **Install PyObjC first**: `pip install pyobjc-framework-cocoa`
2. **Use pip instead**: `pip install split-screen-mac-test` (more reliable)
3. **Check Python version**: Ensure you're using Python 3.9+ with PyObjC support
## Why uvx Needs PyObjC First
- **uvx creates isolated environments**: Each run creates a temporary virtual environment
- **PyObjC is system-specific**: It's not a standard PyPI package that uv can easily install
- **macOS integration**: PyObjC requires system-level access that isolated environments don't have
- **Solution**: Install PyObjC in your main Python environment before using uvx
## Advantages over AppleScript-based solutions
- **Faster execution**: Direct API calls vs. AppleScript interpretation
- **Better error handling**: Native exception handling and fallbacks
- **More reliable**: No AppleScript parsing or execution issues
- **Lower latency**: Direct system access without intermediate layers
