safari-mcp vs Uni-CLI

safari-mcp: Safari MCP is the only MCP server for Safari, providing 80 tools for native browser automation on macOS. It uses your real Safari with all logins and sessions, runs in the background without stealing focus, and has zero dependencies. It reduces CPU usage by ~60% compared to Chrome on Apple Silicon.; Uni-CLI: Uni-CLI is a command-line tool that lets agents search by intent and execute governed commands across websites, apps, local tools, and system capabilities. It returns structured AgentEnvelopes with evidence for agent inspection and repair. The tool supports self-repair, MCP/ACP protocols, and local computer control.
