What does safari_click actually click?

It clicks the first element in your current Safari tab that matches the CSS selector you provide, such as a button class, an id, or an attribute selector. The click behaves exactly like a real user click.

Do I need API keys or a cloud account?

No. LMCP is a free native macOS server that runs entirely on your Mac. There are no API keys, no cloud copy of your data, and nothing is stored on a remote server.

Can web AIs like ChatGPT use safari_click?

Yes. ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Grok and Perplexity connect through the LMCP Cloud Relay connector, while desktop clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and Zed auto-configure over local stdio.

Click Safari Elements with AI on Mac

safari_click lets your AI assistant click the first element matching a CSS selector in your current Safari tab. Instead of describing where a button is, you just tell the AI what to press and LMCP performs the real click inside Safari on your Mac. A typical prompt looks like: "In my current Safari tab, click the button with selector .add-to-cart." The AI translates your request into a precise selector-based click and Safari responds exactly as if you had clicked it yourself.

This is the building block for hands-free browsing: accepting cookie banners, expanding "Show more" sections, submitting forms, opening dropdowns, or triggering any interactive control on a page — all driven by natural language. Because it targets real DOM elements by selector, it is far more reliable than guessing pixel coordinates.

Which AI agents work?

LMCP exposes safari_click to every major MCP-compatible AI client. Desktop clients auto-configure over local stdio, so the tool appears automatically once LMCP is installed:

Claude Desktop — auto-configured via local stdio
Cursor — auto-configured via local stdio
VS Code (GitHub Copilot) — auto-configured via local stdio
Windsurf — auto-configured via local stdio
Zed — auto-configured via local stdio

Web-based AIs connect through the LMCP Cloud Relay connector, which securely bridges to the LMCP server running on your Mac:

Automation

The real power comes from chaining safari_click with the other 150+ tools LMCP provides. Combine it with safari_get_current_url to confirm where you are, safari_open_url to navigate first, safari_run_javascript to read values, and safari_get_page_text to verify the result of a click. A full flow might be: open a URL, click "Accept cookies", click "Log in", then read back the confirmation text — all in one AI conversation, with no manual switching between windows.

Context

Because LMCP drives your actual Safari session, the AI works with your real browsing context: your logged-in accounts, your open tab, your cookies and session state. There is no separate headless browser and no need to re-authenticate. The AI clicks inside the page you already have open, so it sees exactly what you see.

Productivity

Repetitive web tasks that normally cost minutes — dismissing banners, paging through results, toggling settings across dozens of pages — collapse into a single sentence. Ask once and let the AI click through the sequence. For QA, support, and research workflows where you repeat the same clicks on many pages, safari_click turns a tedious manual loop into an instruction you say out loud.

Privacy & GDPR

Everything runs locally on your Mac. safari_click talks directly to Safari on your machine — no page content, selectors, or session data are copied to any server, and nothing is stored in the cloud. LMCP is private and GDPR-compliant by architecture because your data never leaves your computer. Download LMCP to get started — it is free and native to macOS.
