# Windows-MCP

An MCP server that hands your AI agent the Windows desktop: launch apps, click, type, and read window state.

## What it does

Windows-MCP connects an LLM to the Windows operating system. The agent opens programs, presses buttons, types text, and captures the state of a window or a web page. It works with any model — no separate vision model required.

The package ships tools for keyboard, mouse, and UI capture. State-Tool has a `use_dom=True` mode that keeps only page content and drops browser chrome; it supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Latency between actions usually runs 0.2–0.5 seconds and depends on system load and model speed.

You need Python 3.14+ and the UV package manager. The server targets Windows 10 and 11; the current installation will not work on older Windows releases. The first run can take a minute or two while dependencies install, and the server may time out — restart it if that happens.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add windows-mcp -- uvx windows-mcp
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from windows-mcp <command>

```bash
codex mcp add windows-mcp -- uvx windows-mcp
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from windows-mcp <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "windows-mcp": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "windows-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from windows-mcp <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "windows-mcp": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "windows-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from windows-mcp <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add windows-mcp uvx windows-mcp
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from windows-mcp <command>

## When to use it
- open an app and walk through its steps
- check a program's UI after a build
- fill in a web form through the agent
- capture window state and hand it to the model
- run a browser QA scenario without manual clicks

## Example prompts
- Open Calculator and multiply 128 by 47
- Find the schedule page in Chrome and list the first three rows
- Take a screenshot of the active window and describe what looks wrong
