🛠️ Hands-Rust MCP/CLI that sees the Windows desktop and clicks real Chrome
Summary
Hands is a Rust MCP and CLI tool that enables coding agents to interact with the Windows desktop and a real Chrome browser by observing screenshots and performing actual mouse and keyboard inputs without using automation flags or headless drivers.
Why it’s interesting
It allows a coding agent to control a daily user Chrome profile and desktop natively via OS inputs rather than relying on standard automation protocols like Playwright or Puppeteer.
