README

Netwright

Playwright-style automation for .NET desktop apps. Netwright is an MCP server that lets AI agents see and operate WPF, WinForms and WinUI apps: they launch your project, read the UI as compact text, act without stealing your mouse, verify the result, and turn the verified flow into a regression test.

▶ Watch it with sound

Formerly WPF-MCP. Version 2.0 is a rewrite; see Migrating from WPF-MCP 1.x.

> desktop_app action=launch project=src/Orders/Orders.csproj
Launched Orders.exe (pid 9120, WPF, launched by Netwright)
- window "Orders" [e1]

> desktop_snapshot
- window "Orders" [e1]
  - textbox "Customer" [e4] #txtCustomer
  - combobox "Country" [e5] #cmbCountry collapsed
  - checkbox "Accept terms" [e6] #chkTerms unchecked
  - button "Save" [e7] #btnSave disabled

> desktop_set_state target=#chkTerms checked=true
checked checkbox "Accept terms" [e6] #chkTerms
~ checkbox "Accept terms" [e6] #chkTerms checked
~ button "Save" [e7] #btnSave

> desktop_click target=#btnSave
clicked button "Save" [e7] #btnSave
+ window "Confirm" [e9] modal
  + text "Save order 42?"
  + button "Yes" [e10]

Why Netwright

Made for .NET apps. Works with WPF, WinForms (.NET and .NET Framework 4.x) and WinUI/MAUI through UI Automation. It launches straight from a .csproj, captures stdout/stderr and Trace output, and reports crashes with the exception and stack trace.
Cheap in tokens.
- Snapshots are filtered to what an agent needs: unnamed layout panes are collapsed, and grids are summarized row by row.
- Actions answer with a Change Report of what appeared, disappeared or changed, so the agent rarely needs another snapshot.
- Refs (e12) stay valid across snapshots.
Stays out of your way. Actions run in the background: in apps Netwright launches, a small companion performs them inside the app, so it never takes the foreground and bound fields commit like a real edit. You keep working while the agent tests. Key presses and right-clicks are explicit, briefly take focus, and give it back.
Reliable by default.
- Every action waits until its target is enabled and on screen.
- It then waits for the UI to settle, so async screens don't need sleeps.
- Failures come back as error codes with a hint about what to do next.
From exploration to regression tests. desktop_expect verifies state, and desktop_export_test turns the session into a C# test on Netwright.Testing (xUnit, NUnit or MSTest).

Benchmark

Same scenarios, same Fixture App, same token encoding for every server (full methodology and all numbers in benchmarks/results):

WPF Fixture App, median of 5 runs	WPF-MCP 1.0	FlaUI-MCP	Windows-MCP	Netwright 2.0
Tool definitions, sent every turn (tokens)	2,023 (24 tools)	1,418 (12)	3,984 (20)	1,387 (15)
Snapshot of a form (tokens)	1,023	785	1,956¹	385
Snapshot of a 1000-row grid (tokens)	3,988	6,234	1,897¹	627
Fill and submit a form: calls / tokens	10 / 2,463	10 / 3,469	–²	6 / 549
Same form on WinForms: success	0/5	0/5	–²	5/5
Wait for an async load: calls / tokens	5 / 3,337	5 / 2,484	–²	3 / 405
Screenshot (tokens)	25
