CozyZip Ships Safer Archives, Local MCP

CozyZip is a native Apple Silicon macOS archive utility for previewing, creating, and extracting ZIP, 7z, TAR, RAR, and other formats. It adds path-traversal and symlink protections, a Terminal CLI, and a local MCP server for AI-assisted archive workflows.

// ANALYSIS

CozyZip turns an overlooked file utility into a security-conscious developer tool, though its macOS 26+ Apple Silicon requirement sharply limits its audience.

–Pre-extraction inspection helps users spot scripts, executables, and suspicious archive contents before writing to disk
–Path-traversal and symlink guardrails address real archive-extraction risks
–CLI and local MCP support make archive operations automatable from terminals and AI coding clients
–Clean archive creation strips macOS metadata such as `.DS_Store` and `__MACOSX`
–A free personal license and one-time US$5 commercial license are unusually approachable for a focused utility
