I note there is a recent update that allows for writing to the MacOS MDItemUserTags.

I would like to create tags based on the Keywords within an image.

Does anyone know the correct syntax to achieve this?

Thanks

I don't have a Mac but it should be like copying any other tag.  You can check the MacOS tag names for all the names. Also, check to note under MDItemUserTags to make sure you have what it needs to work.
exiftool '-MDItemUserTags<Keywords' FileOrDir
