  • Providing context-aware assistance to users with visual impairments
  • Automating UI testing by inspecting element states on Linux systems

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

ATSPI-MCP-Server · Install

Installation

  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/C-Loftus/ATSPI-MCP-Server.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory: cd ATSPI-MCP-Server
  3. Build the project: cargo build --release
  4. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop)

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
