JavaFX UI Automation provides a powerful interface for controlling and automating JavaFX applications. This MCP server enables AI assistants to interact with JavaFX-based user interfaces, allowing for testing, automation, and enhanced accessibility features. The server bridges the gap between AI systems and JavaFX applications, providing programmatic access to UI elements, event handling, and application state. This makes it ideal for developers looking to implement automated testing, create AI-powered UI assistants, or build accessibility tools for JavaFX applications.

JavaFX UI Automation

This MCP server provides automation capabilities for JavaFX applications, allowing AI assistants to interact with and control JavaFX-based user interfaces.

Installation

To install the JavaFX UI Automation MCP server, you'll need to add it to your MCP client configuration. The server requires Java and JavaFX to be installed on your system.

  1. Ensure you have Java JDK 11 or higher installed
  2. Make sure JavaFX runtime is available on your system
  3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/mcpso/mcp-server-javafx
  4. Navigate to the project directory: cd mcp-server-javafx
  5. Build the project using Maven: mvn clean package
  6. Add the server configuration to your MCP client (see installation JSON below)

Usage

Once installed, the JavaFX UI Automation server allows you to:

  • Query UI elements in JavaFX applications
  • Trigger UI events (clicks, text input, etc.)
  • Navigate through application screens
  • Extract information from UI components
  • Automate repetitive tasks in JavaFX applications

Configuration

The server can be configured with the following options:

  • port: The port on which the MCP server will listen (default: 8080)
  • applicationPath: Path to the JavaFX application to automate
  • debugMode: Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting (true/false)

You can specify these options in the configuration file or as command-line arguments when starting the server.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the JavaFX UI Automation server:

  1. Verify that your Java and JavaFX installations are compatible
  2. Check that the target application is accessible to the server
  3. Enable debug mode for more detailed error information
  4. Consult the logs for specific error messages
