Connecting Claude to Tinderbox using MCP

Thanks so much for sharing this.

Edit: Just after posting this, I notice there will be an issue for some of you. I’m still using Tinderbox 9, and so this is what the applescripts are calling. You’d have to update the tell application "Tinderbox 9" commands at the beginning of the scripts to fit your version. Or is there a way to address Tinderbox in a version-agnostic way, like the tell application id "DNtp" for DEVONthink?

The application id of Tinderbox is “Cere”.
This is explained in detail in the following post thread.

Ah, yes! Unlike other scriptable apps Tinderbox expects a new app name when the version changes. To keep scripts from breaking when the version number changes one could use … tell application id "Cere" instead of … tell application "Tinderbox 9" Why “Cere”? Only our designer knows for sure. You can get the id for any application with something like this: get file creator of (info for (path to application "Tinderbox 9"))
