Desktop Automation

Configuration to use Desktop Automation Server

Here's how to configure Claude Desktop to use the MCP Desktop Automation server:

{ "mcpServers": { "desktop-automation": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-desktop-automation"] } } }

This server requires system-level permissions to:

- Capture screenshots of your screen
- Control mouse movement and clicks
- Simulate keyboard input

When first running Claude Desktop with this server, you may need to grant these permissions in your operating system's security settings.

While this server works with various MCP clients, it has been primarily tested with Claude Desktop.

Important: The current implementation has a 1MB response size limit. For screen captures, this means:

- High-resolution screenshots may exceed this limit and fail
- Testing has shown 800x600 resolution works reliably
- Consider reducing screen resolution or capturing specific screen areas if you encounter issues

- Gets the screen dimensions
- No input parameters required

- Captures the current screen content
- No input parameters required

- Presses a keyboard key or key combination
- Inputs:

- key(string, required): Key to press (e.g., 'enter', 'a', 'control')
- modifiers(array of strings, optional): Modifier keys to hold while pressing the key. Possible values: "control", "shift", "alt", "command"

- Types text at the current cursor position
- Input:text(string, required): Text to type

- Performs a mouse click
- Inputs:

- button(string, optional, default: "left"): Mouse button to click. Possible values: "left", "right", "middle"
- double(boolean, optional, default: false): Whether to perform a double click

- Moves the mouse to specified coordinates
- Inputs:

- x(number, required): X coordinate
- y(number, required): Y coordinate

The server provides access to screenshots:

Screenshot Content(screenshot://{id})

- PNG images of captured screenshots
- Accessible via the screenshot ID (timestamp-based naming)

- Desktop mouse control
- Keyboard input simulation
