What is ACMS?

ACMS is a bridge connecting AI assistants with Apple's container technology. It enables AI assistants like Claude to directly control and manage the container environment on macOS through the MCP protocol, just like executing commands in the terminal but using natural language.

How to use ACMS?

Using ACMS is very simple: First, ensure that your Mac meets the hardware and system requirements. Then, start the Apple container service. Next, run the ACMS server. Finally, configure the connection in your AI assistant (such as Claude Desktop). After that, you can manage containers using natural language commands.

Use Cases

ACMS is particularly suitable for developers and system administrators who need to quickly create test environments, deploy applications, or manage multiple container instances. Through an AI assistant, you can complete complex container operations in a conversational manner without memorizing cumbersome command-line parameters.

Main Features

Full Container Operation Support
Supports more than 50 container operations, covering 9 functional categories such as creation, startup, stop, deletion, and configuration, almost covering all daily container management needs.
Natural Language Interface
Manage containers using natural language through an AI assistant, eliminating the need to memorize complex command-line syntax and parameters, greatly reducing the usage threshold.
HTTP/WebSocket Transmission
Supports modern network protocols and can be accessed remotely via HTTP or WebSocket, facilitating integration into various development and workflows.
Parameter Validation
Built-in powerful parameter validation mechanism, supporting JSON strings and native array formats, ensuring the accuracy and security of command execution.
Production-Ready
After 100% functional testing, it is stable and reliable, suitable for use in production environments, providing an enterprise-level container management experience.
Advantages
Simplify container management: Replace complex commands with natural language, significantly reducing the learning cost.
Improve efficiency: Quickly complete repetitive container operation tasks through an AI assistant.
Flexible integration: Support HTTP and WebSocket, easy to integrate into existing workflows.
Comprehensive coverage: Support all major functions of Apple's container CLI.
Easy to debug: Detailed logs and error information help quickly locate problems.
Limitations
Hardware limitation: Only supports Mac devices with Apple Silicon chips.
System requirements: Requires macOS 26+ and Xcode 26, with strict system version requirements.
Many dependencies: Requires installation of Apple's containerization framework and CLI tools.
Security considerations: Need to pay attention to network security configuration when accessing remotely.
New feature limitations: Some functions may be restricted on macOS 15.

How to Use

Check System Requirements
Ensure that your device is a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip, running macOS 26+ and having Xcode 26 installed.
Install Dependent Components
Install Apple's containerization framework and container CLI tools, and ensure that they are correctly configured and available in the PATH.
Start the Container Service
Start Apple's container system service, which is a prerequisite for running container operations.
Install and Start ACMS
Install ACMS via pip and then start the server. It is recommended to use the provided startup script.
Configure the AI Assistant
Add the ACMS server configuration in your AI assistant (such as Claude Desktop) to establish a connection.
Start Using
Now you can manage containers using natural language through the AI assistant. Try creating your first container.

Usage Examples

Quickly Create a Development Environment
Developers need to quickly set up a clean Ubuntu development environment for a new project to test application compatibility.
Batch Manage Multiple Containers
System administrators need to start multiple service containers simultaneously and check their running status.
Configure Container Network
Users need to configure specific network settings and port mappings for a web server container.
