In contemporary information fusion theory, the Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator is a traditional mean type aggregation operator (AO) that is an appropriate-able technique for aggregating numerical quantities. The MSM operator’s ability to record the relationships between the several input arguments is one of its standout features. The spherical fuzzy set (SFS) is also a remarkable technique that covers the maximum information from real-life scenarios with the help of four grades. This manuscript consists of the development of the MSM and weighted MSM for the information obtained by SFS. Consequently, the spherical fuzzy MSM (SFMSM) and spherical fuzzy weighted MSM (SFWMSM) operators are developed, and their basic properties are studied. Finally, the developed SFMSM and SFWMSM operators have been applied to the r
