Previously, AI agents lacked standardized remote Windows desktop control capabilities. Manually setting up RDP automation pipelines was cumbersome, and operation results were difficult to output in a structured format easily parsed by AI, raising the barrier to implementing automation tasks in Windows environments.
This tool is built on IronRDP. It enables RDP connection, screen capture, keyboard/mouse simulation, clipboard synchronization, and local directory mapping through simple commands. It supports UI automation via the Windows Accessibility API and can locate on-screen text via OCR when the UI API is unavailable. All operations support structured output.
It is suitable for developers, IT operations personnel, and automation test engineers who need to implement automation tasks in Windows environments, as well as users of AI programming tools like Claude Code who need AI agents to operate remote Windows resources.
During use, prioritize passing credentials via environment variables or stdin to avoid the risk of password exposure from plaintext command-line arguments. For scenarios not covered by UI automation, such as WebView content or special pop-up windows, utilize the OCR location feature for element identification.
Key Features
This tool is specifically designed for AI agents, featuring native support for dual element location (UI Automation + OCR) and structured JSON output. It can also be integrated as a Claude Code skill with a single command, making it more suitable for AI automation scenarios than generic RDP tools.
Limitations
Only supports controlling Windows Remote Desktop sessions. Currently does not support remote desktops for other systems like Linux or macOS. OCR recognition accuracy is affected by display conditions such as screen resolution and text clarity.
FAQ
What's a more secure way to pass the password when connecting to RDP?
It is recommended to configure it via environment variables or pass it through stdin to avoid exposure from plaintext command-line arguments.
Can it be used directly in Claude Code?
Yes, you can integrate it as a Claude Code skill by executing the corresponding npx command.
