A MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides automated GUI testing and control capabilities through PyAutoGUI.
MCP Pyautogui Server MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on MCP Pyautogui Server directly instead of describing what you should do. A MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides automated GUI testing and control capabilities through PyAutoGUI.
Once MCP Pyautogui Server is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverDebugging — The Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debuggingYou will need one environment variable: UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the browser automation options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. MCP Pyautogui Server's toolset — Prerequisites, Debugging — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by hetaoBackend; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
