What it does

Gives an agent visibility into a running Tauri v2 application: inspect state, drive actions, read logs. Narrow to one framework, and the right choice if that is your framework — desktop apps are otherwise opaque to automation. Verify it matches your Tauri major version before wiring it in.

Install

Terminal

npx -y @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server

Client configuration

Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tauri": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@hypothesi/tauri-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Use it for

Developing a Tauri desktop app with agent support for its runtime

Skip it if

Electron or web apps; different runtime, different tooling

When to use it

Reach for this when the task needs desktop inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.

Other TypeScript servers

Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
