67
|

2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

|
68
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
69
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
71
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
75
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
76
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|

77

use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
79
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
80

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
81
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
82
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
83
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
84
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
85
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
86
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
87
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
88
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
91
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
92
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
93
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
96
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
99
|
+
stating that You changed the files; and
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
102
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
103
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
104
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
105
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
108
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
109
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
110
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
111
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
112
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
113
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
114
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
115
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
116
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
117
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
118
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
119
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
120
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
121
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
122
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
125
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
126
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
127
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
128
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
129
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
132
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
133
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
134
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
135
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
136
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
137
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
140
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
141
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
142
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
145
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
146
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
147
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
148
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
149
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
150
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
151
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
152
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
155
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
156
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
157
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
158
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
159
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
160
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
161
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
162
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
163
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
164
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
167
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
168
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
169
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
170
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
171
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
172
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
173
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
174
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
175
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

# Hunch
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
**Drive your Mac with any LLM: focus-free, in the background, over [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io).**
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Hunch is an MCP server that gives an LLM agent hands on *your* Mac: your installed apps, your
|
|
38
|
+
logged-in sessions, your files, without taking over your screen. While you keep working in the
|
|
39
|
+
foreground, an agent can read a background app's UI, click its buttons, drive Mail or Music by
|
|
40
|
+
AppleScript, fill a web form, or move files. It works on real native apps, not just a browser.
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
> **Works best with modern LLMs.** Hunch ships a detailed playbook as MCP server instructions;
|
|
43
|
+
> capable tool-using models (Claude Sonnet/Opus-class and up) follow it well. Smaller models may
|
|
44
|
+
> pick clumsier paths (screenshots and keystrokes instead of tree reads and clicks).

Hunch always prefers the most direct layer. It's faster, more reliable, and (except the last)
|
|
49
|
+
never touches your screen:
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
| Layer | Tools | What it's for |
|
|
52
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
53
|
+
| **OS-API** | `trash` `file_op` `open_file` `clipboard_*` `launch_app` … | files, clipboard, app lifecycle, via direct API calls |
|
|
54
|
+
| **AppleScript** | `applescript` | scriptable apps: Mail, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Music, Finder, Safari … |
|
|
55
|
+
| **Web / CDP** | `web_open` `web_snapshot` `web_act` `web_login` … | any browser page or Electron app, driven in the background |
|
|
56
|
+
| **Accessibility** | `snapshot` `act` | any native app's UI: read the tree, click/select/type by reference |
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
A gated last resort (`screenshot` + coordinate clicks/keystrokes) exists for apps whose
|
|
59
|
+
accessibility tree is truly empty. It steals focus, so it asks you first.
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
## How it works (no server, no cloud)
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
"MCP server" undersells how local this is. `hunch serve` is a plain Python process that your
|
|
64
|
+
MCP host (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) spawns as a **child process** and talks to over
|
|
65
|
+
**JSON-RPC on stdin/stdout** (MCP's stdio transport). There is no HTTP endpoint, no port
|
|
66
|
+
Hunch listens on, no daemon, and no telemetry. When your host quits, Hunch is gone.
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
The tools are direct macOS API calls in-process: the Accessibility framework via pyobjc,
|
|
69
|
+
`osascript` for AppleScript, OS APIs for files/clipboard, and, for the web layer, a local
|
|
70
|
+
WebSocket to Chrome's DevTools port on `127.0.0.1`. The only thing that ever touches the
|
|
71
|
+
network is Chrome itself, doing ordinary browsing. What the model sees is whatever the tools
|
|
72
|
+
return through your host; nothing else leaves the machine.
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
## Install
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
macOS 13+. Via Homebrew (installs Python and all dependencies in an isolated env):
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
```
|
|
79
|
+
brew install prithviseran/hunch/hunch
|
|
80
|
+
```
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
(PyPI/pipx publication is planned; today Homebrew is the supported path.)
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
Then, one time:
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
```
|
|
87
|
+
hunch setup # walk the macOS permission grants + create the browser profile
|
|
88
|
+
hunch doctor # verify every layer; fix anything it flags
|
|
89
|
+
hunch connect claude-desktop # or: claude-code, cursor
|
|
90
|
+
```
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
Restart your MCP host and ask it to *"use hunch to …"*.
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
### The permissions, honestly
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
macOS trust attaches to the **app that runs the server**, meaning your MCP host (Claude Desktop,
|
|
97
|
+
Cursor, your terminal), not "hunch" itself. `hunch setup` walks you through it:
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
- **Accessibility** (required): lets Hunch read app UIs and click focus-free. Grant it to your MCP
|
|
100
|
+
host app in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
|
|
101
|
+
- **Automation** (per-app, automatic): the first time Hunch scripts an app, macOS shows a one-time
|
|
102
|
+
"allow control" prompt.
|
|
103
|
+
- **Screen Recording** (optional): only for the screenshot/vision fallback.
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
`hunch doctor` reports what's granted. Note: its Accessibility line reflects the *terminal* you ran
|
|
106
|
+
it from; the server inherits the *host's* grant.
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
## Python SDK (library use)
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
Hunch is also an importable library — the same focus-free primitives as the MCP tools, driven
|
|
111
|
+
deterministically from your own Python (a cron job, a test harness, your own agent loop), no LLM
|
|
112
|
+
required. The distribution is `hunch-sdk`; the import is `hunch`:
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
```python
|
|
115
|
+
from hunch import Hunch
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
mac = Hunch() # your machine, your logged-in apps
|
|
118
|
+
print(mac.snapshot("Mail")) # accessibility tree, focus-free
|
|
119
|
+
mac.act([{"action": "click", "ref": "e12"}])
|
|
120
|
+
mac.web.open(url="https://github.com") # real persistent Chrome profile over CDP
|
|
121
|
+
print(mac.web.snapshot())
|
|
122
|
+
mac.files.trash(["~/Downloads/old.zip"]) # reversible delete, no Finder
|
|
123
|
+
mac.applescript('tell application "Music" to play')
|
|
124
|
+
```
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
Constructor knobs: `app` (initial snapshot target), `confirm="dialog"|"off"` (see below),
|
|
127
|
+
`check_permissions` (Accessibility check up front), `simultaneous` (never touch the
|
|
128
|
+
foreground/cursor/keyboard), `cdp_port`.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
- **Permissions**: for library use it's *whatever runs your script* — your terminal or IDE — that
|
|
131
|
+
needs Accessibility (the MCP server instead uses the host app's grant). The constructor checks
|
|
132
|
+
and raises `AccessibilityNotGranted` with instructions. `screenshot()` additionally needs
|
|
133
|
+
Screen Recording.
|
|
134
|
+
- **Safety gates default ON**: the same one-click "Go ahead" dialogs and `~/.hunch/config.json`
|
|
135
|
+
gates as the MCP server. `Hunch(confirm="off")` auto-approves for that instance only — for
|
|
136
|
+
unattended scripts, with the same caveats as `auto_approve_all`.
|
|
137
|
+
- **Errors**: methods return status strings (check for `REFUSED`); the SDK raises only
|
|
138
|
+
`ApprovalDenied` (user declined a dialog), `AccessibilityNotGranted`, `WebNotOpen`
|
|
139
|
+
(`.web` before `.web.open()`), `StaleRef` (re-snapshot), and `HunchError` when a CDP
|
|
140
|
+
browser can't be opened (`web.restart()` recovers a stale instance).
|
|
141
|
+
- **Credentials**: `mac.web.fill_login(service)` / `fill_secret(service, ref)` type Keychain
|
|
142
|
+
values straight into the page and never return them; domain binding is enforced.
|
|
143
|
+
- **Coexistence**: the SDK and the MCP server share the CDP port (9337) and the persistent Hunch
|
|
144
|
+
browser profile — whichever opened it first is reused, but `web.restart()`/`web.login()` kill
|
|
145
|
+
whatever holds the port.
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
Runnable scripts live in [`examples/`](examples/).
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
## Agent loop (`mac.agent`)
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
The instance SDK gives you deterministic primitives. The **agent loop** puts an LLM in the driver's seat:
|
|
152
|
+
you hand it a task in plain English and Claude drives the Mac through those same primitives —
|
|
153
|
+
Scrapybara's `act()`, but on *your* machine with *your* logged-in apps. It's an optional extra
|
|
154
|
+
(keeps the base install free of the model SDK):
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
```bash
|
|
157
|
+
pip install 'hunch-sdk[agent]'
|
|
158
|
+
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... # or: ant auth login
|
|
159
|
+
```
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
```python
|
|
162
|
+
from hunch import Hunch
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
mac = Hunch()
|
|
165
|
+
result = mac.agent.run("reply to Sarah's latest email, but don't send it")
|
|
166
|
+
print(result.text) # Claude's final summary
|
|
167
|
+
print(result.turns, result.usage)
|
|
168
|
+
```
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
- **Watch it work** with an `on_event(kind, data)` callback — `kind` is one of `text` (Claude's
|
|
171
|
+
reasoning), `tool` (`{name, input}`), `tool_result` (preview), `done` (final text), `error`.
|
|
172
|
+
- **Continuation**: follow-up `act()` calls keep the conversation (Claude still knows which email
|
|
173
|
+
is Sarah's); `mac.agent.reset()` starts a fresh task.
|
|
174
|
+
- **Mix layers freely**: call `mac.snapshot(...)` / `mac.clipboard.get()` deterministically around
|
|
175
|
+
`mac.agent.run(...)` — the thing a cloud sandbox can't do on your real machine.
|
|
176
|
+
- **Knobs**: `run(task, model="claude-opus-4-8", max_turns=40, effort=None, on_event=None,
|
|
177
|
+
system_suffix="")`. `AgentResult` has `text`, `turns`, `stop_reason`, `usage`, `aborted`.
|
|
178
|
+
- **Safety**: the instance's gate config governs the loop. The default `confirm="dialog"` pops a
|
|
179
|
+
real "Go ahead?" dialog before any focus-stealing or risky step — good when you're at the
|
|
180
|
+
machine, but a gated action can stall an unattended run for the dialog's timeout. For cron jobs
|
|
181
|
+
use `Hunch(confirm="off")` and accept the risk; Claude still asks *you* (via `notify_user`)
|
|
182
|
+
before irreversible or outward actions like sending a message. A declined gate comes back to the
|
|
183
|
+
model as a `REFUSED` result, so the loop adapts instead of crashing.
|
|
184
|
+
- **Cost**: each turn resends the tree-heavy history; prompt caching is on by default, so cached
|
|
185
|
+
input is ~10× cheaper — but long autonomous runs still add up. `max_turns` caps it.
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
Other models: the agent loop is Claude-only, but the instance-SDK primitives are provider-agnostic —
|
|
188
|
+
wire `mac.snapshot()` / `mac.act()` into your own OpenAI/Gemini/etc. agent loop as tools.
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
## Credentials: agents use them, never see them
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
```
|
|
193
|
+
hunch creds add github --domain github.com
|
|
194
|
+
hunch creds list
|
|
195
|
+
```
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
Values go straight into the **macOS Keychain**. An agent signs in by calling
|
|
198
|
+
`web_fill_login("github")` with only the service *name*; Hunch reads the secret from the Keychain
|
|
199
|
+
and types it into the page over CDP. The value never enters the model's context, its logs, or its
|
|
200
|
+
provider's servers.
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
**Domain binding**: a credential added with `--domain github.com` will only ever be typed into
|
|
203
|
+
`github.com` (and its subdomains). If a confused or prompt-injected agent lands on a look-alike
|
|
204
|
+
page, the fill is refused. Bind every credential; blank (any-site) exists only for compatibility.
|
|
205
|
+
|
|
206
|
+
No stored credential? Agents fall back to `web_login`, which opens a tagged browser window where
|
|
207
|
+
*you* sign in yourself; the session then persists in Hunch's dedicated browser profile.
|
|
208
|
+
|
|
209
|
+
## Confirmation gates
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
Your MCP host's tool approvals are the primary permission layer. Hunch adds a content-aware second
|
|
212
|
+
gate, a one-click macOS dialog, for the catastrophic cases:
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
| Gate | Fires on |
|
|
215
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
216
|
+
| `gates.focus_steal` | actions that take over your keyboard/cursor (`key`, `click_xy`, ref-less typing) |
|
|
217
|
+
| `gates.app_to_front` | an app being brought to the front (a focus switch, even mid-fullscreen) |
|
|
218
|
+
| `gates.shell` | AppleScript containing `do shell script` |
|
|
219
|
+
| `gates.destructive_applescript` | delete / send / empty trash / shut down / … |
|
|
220
|
+
|
|
221
|
+
One approval covers its follow-through: clicking "Go ahead" (on `request_focus`, a gated `act`,
|
|
222
|
+
or the app-to-front dialog) authorizes the switch it announced for ~15 s: no second dialog, and
|
|
223
|
+
the focus-switch notification is suppressed. A switch is either *asked about* or *announced*,
|
|
224
|
+
never both, and never silent (turn `gates.app_to_front` off and switches fall back to the
|
|
225
|
+
notification).
|
|
226
|
+
|
|
227
|
+
All on by default. `hunch config show` / `hunch config set gates.shell off` to adjust;
|
|
228
|
+
changes apply immediately, even to a running server. `auto_approve_all` disables everything and
|
|
229
|
+
makes you confirm you understand the [risk](SECURITY.md).
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
Hunch also refuses to let the agent edit anything under `~/.hunch/` (its own policy and credential
|
|
232
|
+
metadata) via its file tools; permission changes are for humans in a terminal.
|

## FAQ
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
**Every tree read returns "(no window for …)" and AppleScript fails with "-25211 not allowed
|
|
245
|
+
assistive access".** One cause: the app hosting Hunch is missing the **Accessibility** grant.
|
|
246
|
+
Without it the AX API silently returns nothing, so apps look windowless even when they're open.
|
|
247
|
+
Grant it to the *host* (see next question), and if it's already listed, toggle it off and on:
|
|
248
|
+
macOS silently invalidates grants when an app updates. Restart the host afterwards.
|
|
249
|
+
|
|
250
|
+
**Which app do I grant permissions to?** The one that *launches* `hunch serve`: Claude Desktop,
|
|
251
|
+
Cursor, or your terminal app (for Claude Code). Grants attach to that app's identity, never to
|
|
252
|
+
"hunch" itself. This is also why `hunch doctor` can be misleading: it reports the grants of the
|
|
253
|
+
terminal you ran it in, which may differ from your MCP host's.
|
|
254
|
+
|
|
255
|
+
**Only `screenshot` fails; everything else works.** That's the **Screen Recording** permission,
|
|
256
|
+
which only the screenshot/vision fallback needs. Grant it to the host in System Settings →
|
|
257
|
+
Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, or just let agents use `snapshot`, which doesn't need it.
|
|
258
|
+
|
|
259
|
+
**It worked yesterday and broke today.** An update to your host app (or macOS) likely reset its
|
|
260
|
+
permission grants. Toggle the host off and on under Accessibility (and Screen Recording, if you
|
|
261
|
+
use it), then restart the host.
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
**An app's tree reads empty or shows only a sidebar.** Two different situations. Electron/CEF
|
|
264
|
+
apps (Discord, Slack, Spotify, VS Code) need an accessibility flag; `snapshot` relaunches them
|
|
265
|
+
once, in the background, to set it. Master-detail and Catalyst apps (WhatsApp, Mail) expose only
|
|
266
|
+
the pane you're in: the agent should click into an item by ref and re-snapshot; the detail pane
|
|
267
|
+
then appears. Also check the app actually has a window open.
|
|
268
|
+
|
|
269
|
+
**The web layer won't connect.** Chrome 136+ blocks CDP on your default profile by design. Hunch
|
|
270
|
+
uses its own profile at `~/.hunch/chrome-cdp`; run `hunch setup` to create it and sign into your
|
|
271
|
+
sites there.
|
|
272
|
+
|
|
273
|
+
**My host shows the server instructions truncated.** Cosmetic: some host UIs shorten the playbook
|
|
274
|
+
in their server-info display; the model receives it in full.
