 "title": "Operate a native desktop app by its accessibility tree",
 "page_title": "How to operate a native desktop app by its accessibility tree with Nuphus MCP",
 "summary": "Drive native UI through Windows UIA or macOS AX using observe, candidate, execute, and verify steps.",
 "who": "An IT or operations person who needs an agent to use a desktop application that has no API or browser version.",
 "problem": "Pixel-coordinate automation breaks when window layout or scaling changes.",
 "outcome": "The agent selects UI elements by stable semantic locators and checks the resulting state after each action.",
 "steps": [
  "Call `desktop_targets_list` to see the windows available to bind.",
  "Call `desktop_target_bind` on the window you want the agent to control.",
  "Call `desktop_semantic_observe`, then `desktop_semantic_candidate` to pick the element.",
  "Call `desktop_semantic_execute` or `desktop_semantic_action`, then `desktop_verify_state` to confirm the result."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the nuphus-mcp semantic desktop tools to bind the window titled <window title>, pick the element labeled <element label>, and perform <action>. Return the verified state as text. Verify the state with desktop_verify_state before reporting success.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "60 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Semantic control is backed by Windows UIA and the macOS Accessibility API, and macOS needs the Accessibility permission for mouse and keyboard tools.",
 "category": "Work and operations",
 "tags": [
  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "Rust stable toolchain to build from source with Cargo",
  "Chrome or Edge installed for browser tools",
  "An MCP client that supports stdio servers",
  "Windows for full desktop control; macOS needs the Accessibility permission",
  "Your own vision model API key only if you use desktop_vision"
