Pathlight MCP turns any desktop application or web browser into a navigable accessibility tree that AI agents can see, click, type into, and control — through standard MCP tool calls. It works where Playwright cannot: native apps, system dialogs, legacy software, control panels, and any window that responds to OS accessibility APIs. It also connects to Chromium-based browsers via the Chrome DevTools Protocol for web accessibility automation.

> **New to MCP?** The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is the standard way AI agents interact with external tools. If your client supports MCP servers, it supports Pathlight MCP.

## How Agents Connect

Pathlight MCP uses the MCP **stdio transport**, which means any MCP-compatible client can connect by pointing at the `pathlight-mcp` command. No API keys, no web server, no browser extension.
