PyMCPAutoGUI 🖱️⌨️🖼️ - GUI Automation via MCP

Supercharge your AI Agent's capabilities! ✨ PyMCPAutoGUI provides a bridge between your AI agents (like those in Cursor or other MCP-compatible environments) and your computer's graphical user interface (GUI). It allows your agent to see the screen 👁️, control the mouse 🖱️ and keyboard ⌨️, and interact with windows 🪟, just like a human user!

Stop tedious manual GUI tasks and let your AI do the heavy lifting 💪. Perfect for automating repetitive actions, testing GUIs, or building powerful AI assistants 🤖.

🤔 Why Choose PyMCPAutoGUI?

• 🤖 Empower Your Agents: Give your AI agents the power to interact directly with desktop applications.
• ✅ Simple Integration: Works seamlessly with MCP-compatible clients like the Cursor editor. It's plug and play!
• 🚀 Easy to Use: Get started with a simple server command. Seriously, it's that easy.
• 🖱️⌨️ Comprehensive Control: Offers a wide range of GUI automation functions from the battle-tested PyAutoGUI and PyGetWindow.
• 🖼️ Screen Perception: Includes tools for taking screenshots and locating images on the screen – let your agent see!
• 🪟 Window Management: Control window position, size, state (minimize, maximize), and more. Tidy up that desktop!
• 💬 User Interaction: Display alert, confirmation, and prompt boxes to communicate with the user.

🛠️ Supported Environments

• Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, Linux (Requires appropriate dependencies for pyautogui on each OS)
• Python: 3.11+ 🐍
• MCP Clients: Cursor Editor, any client supporting the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

🚀 Getting Started - It's Super Easy!

1. Installation (Recommended: Use a Virtual Environment!)

Using a virtual environment keeps your project dependencies tidy.

(Note: pyautogui might have system dependencies like scrot on Linux for screenshots. Please check the pyautogui documentation for OS-specific installation requirements.)

2. Running the MCP Server

Once installed, simply run the server from your terminal:

The server will start and listen for connections (defaulting to port 6789). Look for this output:

Keep this terminal running while you need the GUI automation magic! ✨

✨ Seamless Integration with Cursor Editor

Connect PyMCPAutoGUI to Cursor (@ symbol) for GUI automation directly within your coding workflow.

1. Open MCP Configuration: In Cursor, use the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and find "MCP: Open mcp.json configuration file".
2. Add PyMCPAutoGUI Config: Add or merge this configuration into your mcp.json. Adjust paths if needed (especially if Cursor isn't running from the project root).
   { "mcpServers": { // ... other MCP server configs if any ... "PyMCPAutoGUI": { // Sets the working directory. ${workspaceFolder} is usually correct. "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", // Command to run Python. 'python' works if the venv is active in the terminal // where Cursor was launched, or specify the full path. "command": "python", // Or ".venv/Scripts/python.exe" (Win) or ".venv/bin/python" (Mac/Linux) // Arguments to start the server module. "args": ["-m", "pymcpautogui.server"] } // ... other MCP server configs if any ... } }
   (Tip: If mcp.json already exists, just add the "PyMCPAutoGUI": { ... } part inside the mcpServers object.)
3. Save mcp.json. Cursor will detect the server.
4. Automate! Use @PyMCPAutoGUI in Cursor chats:Example: @PyMCPAutoGUI move_to(x=100, y=200) @PyMCPAutoGUI write(text='Automating with AI! 🎉', interval=0.1) @PyMCPAutoGUI screenshot(filename='current_screen.png') @PyMCPAutoGUI activate_window(title='Notepad')
