@JeronimoColon JeronimoColon released this 03 Jul 04:27

Post-launch hardening release.

  • Added --help, --version, and -h.
  • More accurate engine-down detection: Tidesman now corroborates whether the container engine is actually running before telling you to start it, so a normal command failure is no longer mislabeled as "the engine isn't responding."
  • container_kill is now idempotent on an already-stopped container, and its result reports honestly whether a signal was delivered.
  • A misspelled or unknown image now reports as a bad image name rather than a raw registry authorization error.
  • system_ping reports the active access mode (read-only / safe / full).
  • Clearer, better-targeted error messages for delete and run failures.
  • Non-zero exit codes on launch and configuration errors.

Install via Homebrew, the .pkg, the .zip, or the .mcpb bundle for Claude Desktop — see https://tidesman.dev/getting-started/. Verify downloads against SHA256SUMS.

Tidesman v0.1.0

Choose a tag to compare

@JeronimoColon JeronimoColon released this 01 Jul 07:55

The first release of Tidesman — a native MCP server that lets an AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client) run, understand, and debug Linux containers on your Mac through Apple's container tool.

Highlights

  • Nine container toolssystem_ping, container_list/inspect/logs/run/exec/stop/kill/delete.
  • Safe by default — three access modes via --mode (read-only / safe / full); host-folder mounts are off unless you pass --allow-host-mounts.
  • Full audit trail — every tool call is logged (name, arguments with secrets redacted, outcome).
  • Talks straight to Apple's engine via Apple's own Swift client library — no command-line scraping.
  • Signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple.

Requirements

  • Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26.
  • Apple's container installed and started (container system start).

Install

  • Homebrew: brew install JeronimoColon/tidesman/tidesman
  • .pkg installer, direct .zip, or the .mcpb bundle for Claude Desktop — all attached below.
