qtpilot 0.1.0

MCP server for controlling Qt applications via qtPilot probe

qtpilot

MCP server for controlling Qt applications via the qtPilot probe.

qtPilot enables Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants to interact with Qt desktop applications through a native probe that exposes the Qt object tree, properties, signals, and visual state.

Installation

pip install qtpilot

Quick Start

1. Download the tools for your Qt version:

# Download probe + launcher matching your app's Qt version
qtpilot download-tools --qt-version 6.8

# Other available versions: 5.15, 6.5, 6.8, 6.9
qtpilot download-tools --qt-version 5.15

# Extract to a specific directory
qtpilot download-tools --qt-version 6.8 --output ./tools

2. Launch your Qt application with the probe:

# Auto-launch target app with probe injection
qtpilot serve --mode native --target /path/to/your-qt-app.exe

3. Connect Claude to the MCP server via your client configuration.

Features

• Three API modes: Native (full Qt access), Computer Use (screenshots + clicks), Chrome (DevTools-compatible)
• 53 MCP tools for Qt introspection and automation
