ACMS (Apple Container MCP Server)
ACMS is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides programmatic access to Apple's container CLI tool on macOS. ACMS can be run locally or accessed remotely via HTTP/S.
The point of ACMS is to bring attention to the Containerization package and Container cli efforts. Inspiration for ACMS came from coderunner.

- macOS 26+ - It can run on Sequoia with limitations.
- Xcode 26 - required to compile containerization
- Apple Containerization Framework - (required for container functionality)
- Apple Container Cli - installed and in PATH
