This MCP server enables you to automate and test your Tauri desktop apps using natural language. By connecting Claude Code or other MCP clients, you can drive your app through UI interactions, take screenshots, and invoke custom Tauri commands, all without writing complex test scripts. It streamlines repetitive testing and debugging workflows while you code.

How to use

You interact with the server through an MCP client that supports stdio transport. Start the tauri automation server, ensure the WebDriver backend is running, and then ask Claude to perform UI actions or run commands. You can launch apps, click elements by selectors, type text, capture screenshots, and verify results using natural language prompts.

How to install

Prerequisites you need installed before wiring up this MCP server:

Node.js 18+ and npm or another supported package manager
Rust and Cargo for tauri-driver (required to control Tauri apps)

How to install

# 1) Install tauri-driver
cargo install tauri-driver

# 2) Install this MCP server
# Clone the project repository you are using
git clone <repo-url>
cd mcp-tauri-automation
npm install && npm run build

Configure the MCP server

You run the MCP server locally using stdio transport. The server is started by invoking Node with the built entry point. You can optionally set environment variables to tailor behavior for your Tauri app.

# Example to register the server with Claude Code (simplest setup; specify your app when prompting Claude)
claude mcp add --transport stdio tauri-automation \
  --scope user \
  --node /absolute/path/to/mcp-tauri-automation/dist/index.js
