Best for

Developers, AI engineers, and general users needing to automate Windows desktop and office tasks via MCP-compatible LLM clients.
Users who require native UI automation and PowerShell execution without depending on GPU-backed computer vision models.

Key capabilities

Interacts natively with Windows UI elements, opens apps, controls windows, and simulates user input.
Includes tools for basic keyboard, mouse operation and capturing window/UI state.
Special use_dom=True mode for State-Tool that focuses exclusively on web page content, filtering out browser UI elements for web automation. Supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

Supports authentication, IP allowlists, TLS/HTTPS, OAuth 2.0 + PKCE, and CORS origin management for secure network access.

Limitations and risks

Selecting specific sections of text in a paragraph is not supported due to reliance on the accessibility tree.
Type-Tool is not meant for programming in an IDE because it types the program as a whole.
Cannot be used to play video games.
Operates with full system access and can perform irreversible operations.

Getting started

Install the uv prerequisite and run the server directly using 'uvx windows-mcp serve' with a simple config file.
