MCP Server Tauri

Give your AI assistant superpowers for Tauri development

npm version crates.io License: MIT Tauri v2

Documentation · Getting Started · Available Tools

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to build, test, and debug Tauri® v2 applications. Screenshots, DOM state, and console logs from your running app give the AI rich context to understand what's happening—and tools to interact with it.

✨ Features

Category	Capabilities
🎯 UI Automation	Screenshots, clicks, typing, scrolling, element finding
🔍 IPC Monitoring	Capture and inspect Tauri IPC calls in real-time
📱 Mobile Dev	List iOS simulators & Android emulators
📋 Logs	Stream console, Android logcat, iOS, and system logs

Disclaimer: This MCP was developed using agentic coding tools. It may contain bugs.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+ and npm
Rust and Cargo (for Tauri development)
Tauri CLI: npm install -g @tauri-apps/cli@next
For mobile: Xcode (macOS) or Android SDK

1. Configure Your AI Assistant

Use install-mcp to add the server to your AI assistant:

npx -y install-mcp @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server --client claude-code

Supported clients: claude-code, cursor, windsurf, vscode, cline, roo-cline, claude, zed, goose, warp, codex

npx -y install-mcp @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server --client claude-code

npx -y install-mcp @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server --client cursor

npx -y install-mcp @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server --client vscode

npx -y install-mcp @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server --client windsurf

npx -y install-mcp @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server --client cline

Restart your AI assistant after adding the configuration.

2. Set Up the MCP Bridge Plugin

Ask your AI assistant to help configure your Tauri app:

"Help me set up the Tauri MCP Bridge plugin"

Your AI will:

Examine your project to see what's already configured
Show you what changes are needed (Cargo.toml, plugin registration, etc.)
Ask for your permission before making any modifications

That's it! The AI handles all the setup details while keeping you in control. 🎉

If you prefer to set up manually, see the Getting Started guide or the plugin documentation.

Why this approach?

✅ Rich AI context — Screenshots, DOM, and logs help the AI understand your app's state
✅ Cross-platform — Works on Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS
✅ No external drivers — No Selenium, Playwright, or browser automation needed
✅ Native integration — Direct access to Tauri's IPC and backend
