Windows control server for the Model Context Protocol
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Nutjs Windows Control, the nutjs windows control mcp server is the bridge. Windows control server for the Model Context Protocol.
Windows control server for the Model Context Protocol, providing programmatic control over system operations including mouse, keyboard, window management, and screen capture functionality.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 10 tools directly:
Human — AI Collaboration**: Explore new interaction paradigms where Claude can see your screen and help with complex tasksCross — Application Integration**: Bridge applications that don't normally communicatepowershell — Windows PowerShell-based automation for simpler operationsautohotkey — AutoHotkey v2 scripting for advanced automation needsnode-gyp — npm install -g node-gypcmake-js — npm install -g cmake-jsindex.ts — Main application entry pointPrerequisites — 1. Install Build Tools (including VC++ workload) powershell # Run as Administrator - may take a few minutes to complete winget installInstallation — 1. Install MCPControl Package powershell npm install -g mcp-controlConfiguration — MCPControl works best in a virtual machine at 1280x720 resolution for optimal click accuracyThe server is distributed via npm as mcp-control, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 6 environment variables: AUTOMATION_PROVIDER, AUTOHOTKEY_PATH, AUTOMATION_KEYBOARD_PROVIDER, AUTOMATION_MOUSE_PROVIDER, AUTOMATION_SCREEN_PROVIDER, AUTOMATION_CLIPBOARD_PROVIDER. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Nutjs Windows Control sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Human, Cross, powershell among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
