              (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
        
              "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
              form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
              editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
              represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
              of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
              separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
              the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
        
              "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
              the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
              to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
              submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
              or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
              the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
              means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
              to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
              communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
              and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
              Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
              excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
              designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
        
              "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
              on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
              subsequently incorporated within the Work.
        
           2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
              publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
              Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
        
           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
        
           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
        
           APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
        
              To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
              boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
              replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
              the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
              comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
              file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
              same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
              identification within third-party archives.

## 🎬 See it in action

The left half is **muse.ai** (Meta's hosted agent). The right half is a **self-hosted clone of it, built from scratch** — and the hands driving both screens belong to AI agents connected through Agentic Windows MCP. Every click, keystroke, file edit and browser inspection in this video was performed by an agent, on a real PC, through this server.

## 🤖 A product built 100% automatically — no human hands

This project is itself the proof of concept. It was produced **entirely by an automated trio**, replacing the human developer end-to-end:

| The trio | Role in the pipeline |
|---|---|
| **ChatGPT Web** | The brain: planning, coding, reviewing, deciding — through a browser, like a human would |
| **GitHub** | The backbone: source of truth, version history, releases, CI |
| **A personal computer** | The workplace: where code actually ran, apps actually opened, tests actually executed |

ChatGPT Web connected to GitHub and to the personal computer, and the loop — *write code → run it on the real machine → look at the real screen → fix → commit* — ran **fully automatically, in place of a human**.

The flagship result of that loop is the demo above: a from-scratch clone of muse.ai, built and verified screen-by-screen against the original:

- 🎯 **Frontend fidelity: 99%** — layout, spacing, typography and interactions matched pixel-by-pixel against the reference
- ⚙️ **Backend coverage: > 60%** — agent loop, tools, memory, scheduling, approvals and security model re-implemented
- ⏱️ **Total time: just over 1 day** — from an empty repository to a working, self-hosted product

Agentic Windows MCP is the component that made the "personal computer" leg of that trio real. **Install it, and any agent you use gets the same power over your machine.**

---

## 💡 The core idea — three pillars

Alone, an AI agent can only *talk*. Alone, your PC just *sits there*. **Agentic Windows MCP** is the bridge that turns the two of them — plus GitHub — into a complete working machine:

| Pillar | Role | Lives where? |
|---|---|---|
| **1. GitHub** | The source hub: sync, version history, the meeting point of every change | GitHub's cloud |
| **2. The AI Agent** | The "brain": Muse, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek… analyzes, decides, writes code, issues commands | Web, phone app, another machine — anywhere |
| **3. Your computer / server** | The "hands + the real workplace": projects live here, code runs here, real apps open here — Agentic Windows MCP is installed here to execute | Home PC, office machine, Windows VPS… |

The three pillars are **completely independent geographically**, joined by only two pipes: the **MCP protocol** (Agent ⇄ your machine) and **Git** (your machine ⇄ GitHub). So:

- You're at a café, you open ChatGPT on your phone → give an order → the agent drives the PC at home: opens the project, edits code, runs tests, commits and pushes to GitHub. You arrive home: everything is done.
- Or collapse all three into **a single machine**: the agent app runs on the same PC, the code lives on the same PC — Agentic Windows MCP lets the agent operate it like a programmer sitting in front of it.

## ✨ Key features

### 🖥️ Total desktop control
- **Mouse & keyboard like a human**: click, double/right-click, multi-point drag paths, press-and-hold, swipe, Unicode text typing, hotkey chords, scrolling — down to pixel precision.
- **Reads the screen via the UI Automation tree**: a "Snapshot" of every element of the active window (buttons, inputs, labels…) with numbered screenshot annotations — the agent understands UIs **without a vision model**.
- **Window & app management**: launch apps, switch/close/resize windows, multi-monitor, virtual desktops, region screenshots.
- **Clipboard, notifications, displays**: read/write clipboard, send system notifications, manage screens.

### ⚙️ System automation
- **Unrestricted PowerShell**: run commands, install software, administer the system.
- **FileSystem**: read/write/list/move files & folders — read and edit source code directly.
- **Registry & Process**: inspect/edit the registry, list & terminate processes.
- **Scrape**: download and extract web page content.

### 🌐 Browser inspection like real DevTools (F12)
The Browser toolset connects to your already-open Chrome/Edge/Brave via **CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol)**:
- Navigate, manage tabs, DOM snapshots, element queries, visual highlighting, arbitrary JavaScript execution.
- Deep CSS: computed styles, **matched rules** (which rule wins, from which stylesheet), `::before`/`::after`, animations — plus the **Accessibility tree**.
- **Deep Network**: response bodies, request payloads, per-phase timing (DNS/TCP/TLS/TTFB), transfer sizes, redirect chains, failed requests, WebSocket frames, TLS certificate details.
- **Application storage**: cookies (including **HttpOnly**), local/session storage, IndexedDB, Cache Storage, Service Workers.
- **Sources**: list & read the full source of every script/stylesheet.

### 👨‍💻 Remote coding on your own machine
Combine the toolsets and an agent can run the full life-cycle of a coding task right on your PC: open the IDE/project folder → read code → edit files → build & test via PowerShell → open the browser and verify with DevTools → fix → `git commit` & `git push` to GitHub. You just give orders and supervise — from your phone if you like.

### 🛡️ Safety & control stay yours
- **Always-on visual indicator**: while the AI is in control, your screen shows a **glowing border** + a notice panel at the top edge + an aura around the cursor — it never controls your PC "in secret".
- **Take-back key**: press **`Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Space`** to seize control back instantly; the agent only resumes after you've been idle long enough.
- **Three control policies** (`relaxed` / `balanced` / `strict`): at strict, *every* action passes through the control gate with the indicator shown.
- **Agent-priority mode** (optional): the agent is not interrupted by ordinary mouse/keyboard input — only the chord above can take over.
- **Mandatory authentication**: API key via `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header or OAuth; expose the endpoint only over a private network (Tailscale/WireGuard) or HTTPS.
- **No telemetry by default**: the source ships with no tracking key; usage analytics activates only if you set the `POSTHOG_API_KEY` environment variable yourself.

## 🚀 Installation (on the Windows machine to be controlled)

**Requirements**: Windows 10/11 · Python 3.12+ · [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) · Git.

### Option 1 — from PyPI (quickest)

```powershell
pip install agentic-windows-mcp
# or, isolated, with uv:
uv tool install agentic-windows-mcp
```

### Option 2 — from source

```powershell
git clone https://github.com/homenewstar/agentic-windows-mcp.git
cd agentic-windows-mcp
uv sync
```

> The Browser/DevTools tools talk to your existing Chrome/Edge over CDP. If you also want the server to launch its own Chromium, run `playwright install chromium` once.

### Run the server

**HTTP mode (for remote agents / over the network)** — with an auth key:

```powershell
# Create / rotate the auth key (stored in ~/.agentic-windows-mcp/)
agentic-windows-mcp auth

# Start the MCP server over HTTP
agentic-windows-mcp serve --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
# Endpoint: http://<your-PC-IP>:8000/mcp
```

(When installed from source, prefix the commands with `uv run`.)

**stdio mode (agent on the same machine**, e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code): see the connection configs below — the client launches the server itself via `uvx`.

### Start with Windows

```powershell
agentic-windows-mcp install     # create the "agentic-windows-mcp-server" Scheduled Task
agentic-windows-mcp uninstall   # remove the task and stop the server
```

### Expose the endpoint safely

Never open the port directly to the Internet. Use one of:

- **Tailscale** (recommended): install Tailscale on both the PC and your device, then `tailscale serve --bg --https=443 http://127.0.0.1:8000` — the endpoint appears only inside your private tailnet.
- **WireGuard / a self-hosted VPN**, or an HTTPS reverse proxy (Caddy/Nginx) with authentication.

### Configuration

The config file lives at `~/.agentic-windows-mcp/config.toml`:

```toml
[server]
# default host / port / transport...

[control]
enabled = true
policy = "strict"        # relaxed | balanced | strict
idle_timeout_seconds = 10
```

## 🔌 Connect your AI agent

The general rule: **any application that speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol) can connect**, over stdio (same machine) or Streamable HTTP (over the network, with an `Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>` header).

### Muse (muse.ai) & web/app agents
Web-based agents don't install software on your machine — they connect to Agentic Windows MCP's HTTP endpoint:

1. Run the server in HTTP mode as above and expose it via Tailscale/HTTPS.
2. In the agent, add a **custom connector / MCP server** with the URL `https://<your-machine>/mcp` and your auth key.
3. The agent sees all 40 tools and can drive your PC — including opening projects, editing code and pushing to GitHub.

### ChatGPT
ChatGPT supports MCP through **Developer mode / Connectors**:

1. Settings → Connectors → enable Developer mode → *Create* a new connector.
2. Enter the MCP URL (`https://<your-machine>/mcp`) and the API key.
3. In a conversation, enable the connector and give an order, e.g.: *"Open project X on my PC, run the tests and fix whatever fails."*

### Claude (Claude Desktop & Claude Code)
Same machine — stdio, Claude launches the server itself:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentic-windows-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentic-windows-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Different machine — point it at the HTTP endpoint:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentic-windows-mcp": {
      "url": "http://<your-PC-IP>:8000/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}
```

Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http agentic-windows-mcp http://<your-PC-IP>:8000/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>"`.

### Gemini
- **Gemini CLI**: add the same `mcpServers` block as Claude's above to `~/.gemini/settings.json` (stdio, or `httpUrl` + `headers`).
- **Google AI Studio / Gemini API**: use the MCP client built into your app and point it at the same HTTP endpoint.

### DeepSeek & every other agent
DeepSeek (and other models) connect in two ways:

- **Through an existing MCP host**: Cursor, VS Code (Copilot agent mode), Cline, Continue, Windsurf… — just add the `mcpServers` block above; the model behind it doesn't matter, DeepSeek included.
- **Directly over HTTP**: any agent framework (LangChain, LlamaIndex, your own code…) that can POST JSON-RPC to `/mcp` with the auth header works.

### Quick reference

| Agent / Client | Connection | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Muse (web/app) | HTTP connector | Remote agent, drives the PC over Tailscale/HTTPS |
| ChatGPT | HTTP connector (Developer mode) | Developer mode must be enabled |
| Claude Desktop / Code | stdio or HTTP | stdio when on the same machine |
| Gemini CLI | stdio or HTTP | `mcpServers` config |
| DeepSeek | Via an MCP host (Cursor/Cline/VS Code…) | The model is interchangeable |
| Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf | stdio or HTTP | Add the `mcpServers` block |

## 💬 Example orders to give your agent

- *"Open the project `D:\code\shop-web` on my PC, run the tests, fix every failing one, then commit and push to GitHub."*
- *"My homepage loads slowly — open it in Chrome, inspect the Network tab and tell me which requests are slow and why."*
- *"Read the sales report spreadsheet in Downloads, summarize revenue by month and save it as a new file."*
- *"Install Node.js and VS Code on this machine, and configure git with my name and email."*
- *"Open the notes app, paste today's meeting content from the clipboard and save it."*
