## What it is
Terminator is a Windows-native desktop automation library and MCP server, described as 'Playwright for your entire desktop'. It drives native Windows applications through accessibility APIs using structural selectors, exposing SDKs in TypeScript, Python, and Rust plus an MCP agent for AI clients like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code.

## Use cases
- automate windows desktop applications with ai agents
- give claude or cursor control over my desktop via mcp
- click buttons and type into native windows apps programmatically
- replace pyautogui or autohotkey with accessibility-based automation
- build llm agents that operate a windows computer
- script notepad or other native apps without screenshots or ocr

## When to choose
- you need fast, reliable automation of native Windows apps via accessibility APIs
- you want to give MCP-compatible AI assistants OS-level control
- you prefer structural selectors over pixel matching or OCR

## When to avoid
- you need to automate macOS or Linux desktops
- you only need browser automation (use Playwright directly)
- your target apps expose no accessibility tree
