Give your AI assistant superpowers for Tauri development
Documentation·Getting Started·Available Tools
AModel Context Protocol (MCP) serverthat enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to build, test, and debugTauri®v2 applications. Screenshots, DOM state, and console logs from your running app give the AI rich context to understand what's happening—and tools to interact with it.
Disclaimer: This MCP was developed using agentic coding tools. It may contain bugs.
- Node.js20+ and npm
- Rustand Cargo (forTauridevelopment)
- Tauri CLI:npm install -g @tauri-apps/cli@next
- For mobile: Xcode (macOS) or Android SDK
Useaixto add the server to your AI assistant:
npx -y @a1st/aix add mcp tauri --command 'npx @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server' --user
Supported clients:claude-code,cursor,windsurf,vscode,cline,roo-cline,claude,zed,goose,warp,codex
[!TIP]aixautomatically detects your installed AI assistants and configures them.
Restart your AI assistantafter adding the configuration.
If you want to call the tools directly from a terminal instead of from an MCP client:
npm install -g @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-cli tauri-mcp driver-session start --port 9223 tauri-mcp webview-screenshot --file screenshot.png
The CLI uses MCPorter keep-alive support sodriver_sessionstate survives across separate commands.
Ask your AI assistant to help configure your Tauri app:
"Help me set up the Tauri MCP Bridge plugin"
- Examine your projectto see what's already configured
- Show you what changes are needed(Cargo.toml, plugin registration, etc.)
- Ask for your permissionbefore making any modifications
That's it! The AI handles all the setup details while keeping you in control. 🎉
If you prefer to set up manually, see theGetting Started guideor theplugin documentation.
Just type the command in your AI assistant to start a guided workflow.
Multi-Window Support: All webview tools accept an optionalwindowIdparameter to target specific windows. Usemanage_windowwithaction: "list"to discover available windows.
