MCP Server Tauri

Get instructions for setting up or updating the MCP Bridge plugin in a Tauri project. Call this tool when: (1) tauri_driver_session fails to connect, (2) you detect the plugin is not installed or outdated, or (3) the user asks about setup. Returns step-by-step guidance that you should follow to help the user configure their project. IMPORTANT: The instructions require you to examine the project first and ask for permission before making any changes.

[Tauri Mobile Apps Only] List Android emulators/devices and iOS simulators. Use for Tauri mobile development (tauri android dev, tauri ios dev). Not needed for desktop-only Tauri apps or web projects.

[Tauri Apps Only] Start/stop automation session to connect to a RUNNING Tauri app. Supports multiple concurrent app connections - each app runs on a unique port. The most recently connected app becomes the "default" app used when no appIdentifier is specified. Use action "status" to check connection state: returns single app format when 1 app connected, or array format with "isDefault" indicator when multiple apps connected. Action "stop" without appIdentifier stops ALL sessions; with appIdentifier stops only that app. The identifier field (e.g., "com.example.myapp") uniquely identifies each app. REQUIRED before using other tauri_webview_* or tauri_plugin_* tools. Connects via WebSocket to the MCP Bridge plugin in the Tauri app. For browser automation, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead. For Electron apps, this tool will NOT work.

[Tauri Apps Only] Find DOM elements in a running Tauri app's webview. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser pages or documentation sites, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Read logs from various sources: "console" for webview JS logs, "android" for logcat, "ios" for simulator logs, "system" for desktop logs. Requires active tauri_driver_session for console logs. Use for debugging Tauri app issues at any level.

[Tauri Apps Only] Click, scroll, swipe, focus, or perform gestures in a Tauri app webview. Supported actions: click, double-click, long-press, scroll, swipe, focus. Requires active tauri_driver_session. For browser interaction, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Screenshot a running Tauri app's webview. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Captures only visible viewport. Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser screenshots, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead. For Electron apps, this will NOT work.

[Tauri Apps Only] Type text or send keyboard events in a Tauri app. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser keyboard input, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Wait for elements, text, or IPC events in a Tauri app. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser waits, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Get computed CSS styles from elements in a Tauri app. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser style inspection, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Execute JavaScript in a Tauri app's webview context. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Has access to window.TAURI. If you need a return value, it must be JSON-serializable. For functions that return values, use an IIFE: "(() => { return 5; })()" not "() => { return 5; }". Targets the only connected app, or the default app if multiple are connected. Specify appIdentifier (port or bundle ID) to target a specific app. For browser JS execution, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Execute Tauri IPC commands (invoke Rust backend functions). Requires active tauri_driver_session. This is Tauri-specific IPC, not browser APIs. For Electron IPC or browser APIs, use appropriate tools for those frameworks.

[Tauri Apps Only] Monitor Tauri IPC calls between frontend and Rust backend. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Captures invoke() calls and responses. This is Tauri-specific; for browser network monitoring, use Chrome DevTools MCP.

[Tauri Apps Only] Get captured Tauri IPC traffic (requires ipc_monitor started). Shows captured commands (invoke calls) and events with arguments and responses. For browser network requests, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Emit a Tauri event to test event handlers. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Events are Tauri-specific (not DOM events). For browser DOM events, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.

[Tauri Apps Only] Get Tauri backend state: app metadata, Tauri version, environment. Requires active tauri_driver_session. Use to verify you're connected to a Tauri app and get app info.

[Tauri Apps Only] Manage Tauri windows. Actions: "list" - List all windows with labels, titles, URLs, and state. "info" - Get detailed info for a window (size, position, title, focus, visibility). "resize" - Resize a window (requires width/height, uses logical pixels by default). Requires active tauri_driver_session. For browser windows, use Chrome DevTools MCP instead.
