README

PyAutoGUI-MCP exposes MCP tools dynamically from the PyAutoGUI API. It does not manually reimplement or wrap each function: it auto-registers the available API.

Install with pip

pip install pyautogui-mcp

Run the server:

pyautogui-mcp --transport stdio
pyautogui-mcp --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

MCP client config example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pyautogui-mcp": {
      "command": "pyautogui-mcp",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Run with uv

Dependencies are declared in pyproject.toml, so uv can resolve and run directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pyautogui-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/full/path/to/pyautogui-mcp",
        "run",
        "python",
        "-m",
        "pyautogui_mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can also launch manually:

uv run python -m pyautogui_mcp --transport stdio
uv run python -m pyautogui_mcp --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

Use in your own project

Import only what you need and run it under your own server lifecycle:

from pyautogui_mcp import mcp, register_pyautogui_api

register_pyautogui_api(prefix="pyautogui_")
mcp.run()  # or mcp.run(transport="http", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000)

Other exports:

from pyautogui_mcp import pyautogui_diagnose, pyautogui_tools

Desktop control notes

  • The server runs actions on the machine where it is launched (current desktop/display).
  • PyAutoGUI requires a real GUI session; headless environments will fail.
  • Safety: moving the mouse to a corner triggers the PyAutoGUI failsafe.
  • Optional pause between actions via PYAUTOGUI_PAUSE=0.1.

Tool examples

Tool names are exposed with the default pyautogui_ prefix (configurable with --prefix).

Tool Inputs (common) Output
pyautogui_screenshot imageFilename (optional), region (optional [left, top, width, height]) MCP image content (PNG bytes)

pyautogui_position none cursor coordinates { "x": int, "y": int }
pyautogui_click x, y, clicks, button, interval, duration null (mouse click performed)
pyautogui_doubleClick x, y, button, interval, duration null (double-click performed)
pyautogui_rightClick x, y, interval, duration null (right-click performed)
pyautogui_moveTo x, y, duration null (mouse moved)
pyautogui_moveRel xOffset, yOffset, duration null (mouse moved relative)
pyautogui_dragTo x, y, duration, button null (drag performed)
pyautogui_dragRel xOffset, yOffset, duration, button null (drag performed)
pyautogui_write message, interval null (text typed)
pyautogui_typewrite message, interval null (text typed)
pyautogui_press keys, presses, interval null (key press performed)
pyautogui_hotkey keys, interval null (hotkey chord performed)
pyautogui_scroll clicks, x, y null (scroll performed)
pyautogui_tools none tool list { note, tools:[{name, description}] }

Use pyautogui_tools to list the exact tool set for your environment and PyAutoGUI version.
