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 ui_read_table to extract a grid, table, or details-view list into structured rows + headers in one call instead of scraping cells with repeated ui_read.
4. Use file_save for Save / Save As flows and file_open for Open flows instead of sending raw keyboard shortcuts.
5. Use clipboard (get/set/clear) for fast bulk text IO — pair it with copy/paste hotkeys.
6. Use ui_batch to run a multi-step sequence in one call, and ui_macro to save that sequence by name and replay it later.
7. 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.
