WpfBuddy MCP - WPF UI Automation for VS Code

The MCP server that understands WPF applications — not just pixels.

Attach to any WPF app, inspect its UI tree semantically, automate workflows without coordinates, generate tests, and diagnose binding errors — all through natural language via GitHub Copilot.

Features

• 200+ MCP tools for WPF automation
• Semantic UI inspection — access the full automation tree, not just screenshots
• Smart selectors — click by AutomationId, Name, or ControlType
• Recording & replay — record workflows and export as xUnit+FlaUI tests
• WPF diagnostics — detect binding errors, missing IDs, accessibility issues
• DataGrid support — navigate, sort, filter, and assert grid content
• MVVM-aware — inspect ViewModels, Commands, and DataContext

Quick Start

1. Install this extension — the MCP server is automatically registered in your VS Code settings
2. Start chatting with Copilot: "Attach to my WPF app and show me the UI tree"

The extension auto-registers the bundled MCP server on activation. If needed, run WpfBuddy: Register MCP Server from the Command Palette to re-register manually.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
