Integration Pattern: Memory-Enhanced AppleScript Automation

Overview

I wanted to share an integration pattern I've developed that significantly enhances the AppleScript MCP server by adding memory and persistent context capabilities. This approach combines the flexibility of your excellent MCP server with intelligent script management.

The Integration

I've successfully integrated three components:

1. peakmojo/applescript-mcp - Your flexible AppleScript execution engine
2. [mcp-memory-service](https://github.com/doobidoo/mcp-memory-service) - For storing and retrieving scripts
3. [MCP-Context-Provider](https://github.com/doobidoo/MCP-Context-Provider) - For persistent context rules

How It Works

1. Memory-Based Script Management

Instead of recreating scripts from scratch each time, the system:

• Searches memory for existing scripts before creating new ones
• Stores successful scripts with rich metadata
• Adapts existing templates to new requirements
• Builds a personal script library over time

2. Example Workflow

// Before creating a new calendar script
await search_by_tag(["applescript", "app:calendar", "action:create"]);

// If found, adapt the template
// If not found, create new and store for future use
await store_memory({
  content: scriptCode,
  metadata: {
    tags: ["applescript", "app:calendar", "action:create"],
    type: "applescript-template",
    parameters: ["CALENDAR_NAME", "EVENT_TITLE", "START_DATE", "END_DATE"]
  }
});

3. Structured Tagging System

• App tags: app:calendar, app:finder, app:messages, app:notes
• Action tags: action:create, action:read, action:update, action:delete
• Category tags: category:productivity, category:communication

Benefits

1. Token Efficiency: Dramatically reduces token usage by reusing scripts
2. Consistency: Same patterns used across sessions
3. Learning System: Library grows based on actual usage
4. Best of Both Worlds: Your MCP's flexibility + structured script management

Implementation

I've created:

1. A comprehensive context file for the MCP Context Provider
2. Documentation showing the integration pattern
3. Example workflows and templates

Why This Matters

Your AppleScript MCP server is brilliantly simple (<100 lines!) and powerful. This integration pattern:

• Preserves that simplicity
• Adds enterprise-grade script management
• Makes it even more valuable for production use
• Could inspire similar patterns for other flexible MCP tools

Questions/Suggestions

1. Would you be interested in adding a section to your README about this integration pattern?
2. Could we explore adding optional memory integration directly into the server?
3. Would you like me to contribute example documentation?

Resources

• Full implementation details: [MCP Memory Service](https://github.com/doobidoo/mcp-memory-service)
• Context configuration: [MCP Context Provider](https://github.com/doobidoo/MCP-Context-Provider)
• Working example: Both repositories now include AppleScript examples

Thank you for creating such a clean, powerful tool. The simplicity of your implementation made this integration possible and elegant!

Note: This integration is completely optional and doesn't modify your server. It's an additive pattern that users can choose to implement if they need script management capabilities.
