There is a model just called Mac Pro. It's a desktop computer for use with a separate monitor.
OK, so you have the older desktop Mac Pro. I was thinking of the recently released and unreleased versions. Thanks for making it clear.
Try Sofortbild, its free and only does tethering, from the app store or direct from Sofortbild.

I've only shot tethered with Lightroom to my Macbook Pro. It was a little clunky and didn't match what I had experienced when hiring professional photographers (I work in advertising and do this often). The pros all seem to use CaptureOne. Rather than having us art directors looking over the shoulder, they can show us shot for shot as they shoot on the tethered macpro.
Canon EOS Utility, Nikon Capture NX2, Lightroom...
It depends on your camera. There is plenty of support for Canon and Nikon... not so much support for other brands.
We were doing this in the school portrait industry back in 2003, using Canon EOS Utility and Canon EOS 10D (and all later) dSLRs. Canon's software comes with their better cameras, with installers for both Macs and Windows PCs on the same disc. Updates are available on their website.
The typical camera manufacturer's app such as Canon EOS Utility simply downloads files to a folder. What you do with the files in that folder is then up to you and/or your other software.
Adobe Lightroom allows images to drop right into your Library. They are available for immediate inspection, editing, developing, etc.
Also depends on camera brand and model. Sony have their own apps to tether.

What camera? It really doesn't matter what computer or laptop you use, most modern machines will work. I have used Lightroom and Capture One, and much much much prefer Capture One. It's stable and fast.
Thanks everyone. My question showed my ignorance. Nikon D810 and MacBook Pro 13.3".
