Show HN: Use Chrome DevTools Protocol to Control WinForm/MFC Apps

Category: infrastructure

Tags: chrome-devtools-protocol, desktop-automation, ai-agents

Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 5, Utility: 6)

Creator wraps compiled WinForms, MFC, and WPF desktop applications in a Chromium browser process, enabling them to be controlled via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This bridges native desktop apps with web-based AI agent ecosystems, allowing LLMs to inspect and interact with app internals structurally rather than via pixel guessing.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, ai engineers
