OculOS – Any desktop app as a JSON API via OS accessibility tree
Single Rust binary (~3 MB) that reads the OS accessibility tree and gives every UI element a REST endpoint. Click buttons, type text, toggle checkboxes — all via JSON. Works as an MCP server too, so Claude/Cursor/Windsurf can control any desktop app out of the box. Windows + Linux + macOS. MIT licensed.
In plain words
OculOS is a lightweight Rust tool that exposes desktop application interfaces as JSON APIs by reading the OS accessibility tree. It enables users to interact with any desktop app—clicking buttons, typing text, and toggling checkboxes—through REST endpoints or as an MCP server that integrates with Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. The single binary runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, making it useful for developers building automation tools or AI-assisted desktop application control. It is MIT licensed.
