Touchpoint MCP server

Lets your AI see and click buttons, type text, and read what is on your desktop apps.

Touchpoint is a helper that gives your AI eyes and hands on your computer. It lets the AI look at what is open on your screen, find buttons, menus and text boxes, and click or type in them for you. It is handy if you want your AI to do things in normal desktop programs like Slack, Excel or your browser, not just chat.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only talk. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to something else. This one connects your AI to your own desktop, so it can look at your open apps and act inside them when you ask. You install it once, and then your AI can see and use the programs on your computer.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to do something in an app, like find a message in Slack or fill in a form in Chrome. The AI uses this helper to look at the screen and get a list of the real buttons, text boxes and labels with their names and positions. The helper talks to your operating system's built-in accessibility features, so it reads the actual elements instead of guessing from a picture. Then the AI clicks, types or reads what you asked for. You get the result back in the chat, plus a note about what changed on screen.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Open Slack and send the team a message”, on your own computer the Touchpoint MCP server works with your own computer, and you get back the task done, plus what changed.

“In Chrome, search for the weather in Paris and tell me the result”
“Read the text in my Excel window and summarize the table”
“Find the Save button in this app and click it”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, like a list of elements it found, the text it read from a window, or a screenshot. When it clicks or types, it tells you what it did and often adds a short note about what changed, for example that a new window opened or the focus moved. If nothing changed, it says so, so you know something may have gone wrong.
