Tauri MCP Bridge — AI Agent ↔ Tauri App

Architecture: Two-Part System

The MCP bridge consists of two parts that MUST both be installed:

Part 1: Node.js MCP Server (runs on the AI client side)

• npm package: @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server v0.9.0
• Exposes 20 tools + 3 slash commands to the AI client
• Communicates with the Tauri plugin via WebSocket

Part 2: Rust Plugin (runs inside the Tauri app)

• Crate: tauri-plugin-mcp-bridge v0.9.0
• Starts a WebSocket server on port 9223 (scans up to 9322 if busy)
• Handles commands: IPC monitoring, JS execution, screenshots, window management
