aicortex-bridge

Windows host HTTP service for Outlook COM. Lives in the aicorkit repo alongside the aicorkit package.

Install (Windows)

pip install aicorkit aicortex-bridge
aicortex-bridge serve

serve defaults to background mode and adds a logon Run key (AICortexBridge) so the bridge starts when you sign in. Logs: %USERPROFILE%\.aicorkit\logs\aicortex-bridge.log.

aicortex-bridge status          # running / pid / auto-start
aicortex-bridge stop            # stop background process
aicortex-bridge uninstall       # stop + remove logon task
aicortex-bridge serve -f        # foreground (debug)
aicortex-bridge serve --no-autostart   # background only, no boot task

From source (repo root):

pip install .
pip install ./bridge
aicortex-bridge serve

Requires Outlook desktop signed in. Default listen: 0.0.0.0:8766.
