windows-automation

Context

This plugin bundles the Windows MCP Server for Windows-only desktop automation. The server is strongest when you let Windows expose semantic UI information instead of guessing from screenshots.

Preferred workflow

1. Use window_management to find or activate the target window.
2. Use ui_find, ui_read, ui_click, and ui_type for normal controls.
3. Use file_save for Save / Save As flows instead of sending raw keyboard shortcuts.
4. Only fall back to screenshot_control, mouse_control, or keyboard_control when the UI Automation tree is missing or the target is a custom canvas.

Patterns

Semantic-first automation

• Prefer element names, control types, automation IDs, and window handles over screen coordinates.
• Re-check the UI tree after dialogs, page changes, or tab switches.
• Treat screenshots as discovery or fallback tools, not the primary control surface.
