Calibre can be made to watch a directory and load any books found there. Try using the save-to-disk from the MAC and put them in a shared folder on the server to pickup. Or, save them on the MAC and use a script to process the folder running calibredb against each to send them to the server instance of calibre.

Actually, you could probably use the Open With plugin to add a menu item to call the calibredb command and send the book to the server. But, you would want to update the metadata and cover before doing this. The above method would do this as part of the save-to-disk.
