About native-cua

Observe and control macOS apps through a CLI or MCP server, with a floating live preview and silent MP4 recording. The independent Swift backend uses public Apple APIs; no Codex installation or OpenAI credentials are required.

Apple Silicon · macOS 14+ · Node.js 22+. Live preview and recording require macOS 15+. This is an accessibility-based prototype, not universal mouse automation.

v0.4.0 is Developer ID–signed, notarized by Apple, and stapled. No Git, Xcode, or source build is needed.

1. Install the release. You can inspect the installer before running it.

Click Allow for Accessibility and Screen recording, then approve Native CUA in System Settings. If the app is missing from the list, drag the app tile beside Settings into it. If access still appears missing after enabling it, use Restart helper; restart is blocked during a command or capture and invalidates old snapshots.

3. Connect your MCP client. For OpenCode 2:

For other clients, use the absolute CLI path printed by the installer as the command, with mcp as its argument.

4. Ask your agent to call status. Confirm the required permissions are granted and executionhost.kind is launchservices-app.

The setup window checks the exact app helper used by that installation's CLI and MCP. Opening the app directly also shows setup, but an unattached window checks only the app's grants—not an MCP connection. Unlike earlier releases, v0.4.0 owns its permissions instead of inheriting Terminal or Node's grants.
