agent-desktop now speaks MCP

agent-desktop now exposes its desktop-control commands as MCP tools over stdio, letting compatible agents operate macOS, Windows, and Linux apps through accessibility trees. The update also adds stdin text input for safer automation and improves macOS list-row clicking.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful interoperability upgrade: agent-desktop moves from a useful CLI to a drop-in computer-use backend for MCP-native agents.

  • –One MCP configuration exposes commands such as snapshots, clicks, typing, window management, notifications, and clipboard control.
  • –Stdin support keeps sensitive text out of shell arguments and reduces accidental exposure in process listings or logs.
  • –Accessibility-tree automation is more structured and verifiable than screenshot-based clicking, though apps still need usable accessibility metadata.
  • –The macOS row-selection fix targets awkward native interfaces such as Spotlight, where the selectable target is the list row rather than an obvious child control.
  • –Because agent-desktop supplies control primitives rather than a model, developers can pair it with their preferred MCP-compatible agent and model.
