Automation MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI models with complete desktop automation capabilities on macOS. It enables AI assistants to:

• 🖱️ Control your mouse (click, move, scroll, drag)
• ⌨️ Type and send keyboard input (including system shortcuts)
• 📸 Take screenshots and analyze screen content
• 🪟 Manage windows (focus, move, resize, minimize)
• 🎯 Interact with UI elements through coordinates
• 🎨 Analyze screen colors and highlight regions
• 🔍 Wait for images to appear on screen

Make sure you have furi installed, and then run the following command:

furi add ashwwwin/automation-mcp

followed by:

furi start ashwwwin/automation-mcp

and you're done! (or you can just use the furi desktop app for no cli).

• Bun runtime - Install with: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

git clone https://github.com/ashwwwin/automation-mcp.git
cd automation-mcp
bun install

# Start with HTTP transport (recommended for web apps)
bun run index.ts

# Or start with stdio transport (for command line tools)
bun run index.ts --stdio

On first run, macOS will ask for permissions. You must grant these for full functionality:

1. Accessibility - Allows keyboard/mouse control
2. Screen Recording - Enables screenshots and screen analysis

Or manually enable in: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility/Screen Recording

• mouseClick - Click at coordinates with left/right/middle button
• mouseDoubleClick - Double-click at coordinates
• mouseMove - Move cursor to position
• mouseGetPosition - Get current cursor location
• mouseScroll - Scroll in any direction
• mouseDrag - Drag from current position to target
• mouseButtonControl - Press/release mouse buttons
• mouseMovePath - Follow a smooth path with multiple points

• type - Type text or press key combinations
• keyControl - Advanced key press/release control
• systemCommand - Common shortcuts (copy, paste, undo, save, etc.)

• screenshot - Capture full screen, regions, or specific windows
• screenInfo - Get screen dimensions
• screenHighlight - Highlight screen regions visually
• colorAt - Get color of any pixel
• waitForImage - Wait for images to appear (template matching)

• getWindows - List all open windows
• getActiveWindow - Get current active window
• windowControl - Focus, move, resize, minimize windows

1. Accessibility - Required for:

   • Mouse clicks and movement
   • Keyboard input simulation
   • Window management

2. Screen Recording - Required for:

   • Taking screenshots
   • Screen analysis
   • Color detection

If you've already configured furi with Claude Desktop, you don't need to do anything.

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "furi": {
      "command": "furi",
      "args": ["connect"]
    }
  }
}

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "automation": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/path/to/automation-mcp/index.ts", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}
