MCPControl MCP Server

What is MCPControl?

MCPControl is a Windows-only control server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that provides programmatic access to mouse, keyboard, window management, screen capture, and clipboard operations. It enables AI models like Claude to securely interact with desktop applications.

How to use MCPControl?

Install globally via npm install -g mcp-control. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude) with SSE transport – either by pointing to a running server’s URL (e.g., http://192.168.1.100:3232/mcp) or by launching MCPControl locally with --sse. Start the server with mcp-control --sse. For best click accuracy, run inside a virtual machine at 1280×720 resolution.
