Native DevTools MCP

What it does

Native DevTools MCP enables AI agents to interact with native desktop applications and mobile devices. It bridges the gap between browser-based automation and local OS environments, allowing agents to 'see' the screen via OCR and 'act' via simulated mouse and keyboard events.

Tools

• take_screenshot: Captures the screen or specific windows with OCR metadata.
• click: Simulates a mouse click at specific screen coordinates.
• type_text: Sends keystrokes to the active window.
• find_text: Locates text on screen using accessibility APIs or OCR fallback.
• cdp_connect: Connects to Chrome or Electron apps via Chrome DevTools Protocol for DOM-level automation.
• android_connect: Connects to Android devices over ADB for mobile automation.
• load_image / find_image: Performs template matching to find non-text UI elements like icons.
