MCP server to drive Electron apps like Playwright

An MCP server enabling AI agents to control Electron applications similarly to how Playwright controls browsers.

Electron-Stagewright: MCP Server for Electron App Automation

Electron-Stagewright provides an MCP (Message Passing Control) server designed to enable AI agents to interact with and control Electron applications. This tool bridges the gap between AI-driven automation and desktop application interfaces, offering a programmatic way to automate tasks within Electron-based software. By leveraging the MCP protocol, it allows for sophisticated control over application elements, mimicking the capabilities of browser automation tools like Playwright but for desktop environments.

What It Does

Electron-Stagewright acts as an intermediary, exposing an MCP interface that AI agents can connect to. This server allows agents to send commands to an Electron application, triggering actions, extracting data, and manipulating the application's state. It facilitates the development of AI agents capable of performing complex workflows within desktop applications, such as form filling, data extraction from UI elements, and automated testing of Electron apps.

Key Features

MCP Server Implementation: Provides a robust MCP server specifically tailored for Electron applications.
Electron App Control: Enables programmatic control over Electron app components and functionalities.
Playwright-like Interaction: Offers a paradigm similar to browser automation tools for a familiar developer experience.
AI Agent Integration: Designed for seamless integration with AI agents and development frameworks.
Source Code Available: Open-source on GitHub for transparency and customizability.

Who It's For

This tool is intended for AI developers and software engineers building AI-powered automation solutions. It is particularly useful for those working with Electron-based desktop applications who require advanced control and automation capabilities. If you are developing AI agents for tasks such as automated software testing, data scraping from desktop GUIs, or creating intelligent assistants for specific applications, Electron-Stagewright offers a powerful foundation. Developers familiar with browser automation concepts will find the transition to controlling Electron apps straightforward.
