Flue is a Python bridge that enables coding agents to directly control desktop applications like Photoshop, Blender, and Unity via their native scripting APIs, bypassing the need for MCP server setups or fragile screenshot-based automation. It simplifies agent-driven desktop automation by leveraging existing COM, AppleScript, and local endpoints, making it a practical and low-maintenance solution for creative and development workflows.
