What it is
Windows-MCP is an MCP server for Windows that enables AI agents to interact with the Windows operating system, including file navigation, application control, UI interaction, QA testing, and more. It is an open-source project under the MIT license written in Python, designed to bridge LLMs with Windows UI automation.
How it works
The server exposes UI automation capabilities and tools for keyboard/mouse operations and window/UI state. It supports multiple transport backends to communicate with MCP clients, including stdio (default), SSE, and streamable HTTP. DOM Mode is available for browser automation with use_dom=True, and it can operate with Firefox via an IAccessible2 fallback.
Getting started
Install prerequisites include Python 3.13+ and UV from Astra. Run the server directly or install as a background task. Example commands:
uvx windows-mcp serve
uvx windows-mcp serve --transport sse --host localhost --port 8000
uvx windows-mcp serve --transport streamable-http --host localhost --port 8000
Install as a background task:
windows-mcp install
# Or with explicit transport/host/port
windows-mcp install --transport sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
Logs are written to ~/.windows-mcp/server.log and ~/.windows-mcp/server.error.log.
The README also provides integration guides for Claude Desktop, Perplexity Desktop, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Codex CLI, Autohand Code, and Claude Code, with commands to register and run the MCP server in those environments. The example configurations show how to reference uvx or uv with appropriate arguments in various config files.
