### Description (declared)

# qtpy-mcp

MCP server that lets an AI agent **find, screenshot, GIF-record and drive Qt widgets** in
running applications and DCCs (Houdini, Blender, Maya, Nuke, ...), built on
[Qt.py](https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py) so it works with PySide6, PyQt6, PySide2 and PyQt5.

It is a fork of [0xCarbon/qt-mcp](https://github.com/0xCarbon/qt-mcp) (MIT OR Apache-2.0):
same tool set, plus Qt.py, many-apps-at-once routing, semantic widget search and GIFs.

## What you can ask for

- **Find by meaning**, not by ref: text, window title, class, `objectName`, placeholder,
  **tooltip, whatsThis, statusTip**, accessible name, tab text, dynamic properties, even
  **style sheet**. Fuzzy-ranked; each hit says which field matched.
- **Screenshot** a whole window, a dialog, or any sub-widget such as a docked panel. A match on a
  label like `Name goes here:` captures the form around it (`expand="auto"`; also `self`,
  `parent`, `buddy`, `window`).
- **Record a GIF** (`qt_record_gif`, or `qt_record_start` / `qt_record_stop` while you interact).
  The probe grabs frames with `QWidget.grab()` and Pillow encodes them, so it behaves the same
  on Windows, Linux and macOS: no ffmpeg or screen-capture APIs.
- **Many applications at once.** Several Houdinis, Blender and Maya can be open together; one
  agent connection addresses any of them (see below).
