Documentation

README

UI Automation Workflows

Use the execute_idb_command MCP tool for all UI automation

The xclaude-plugin provides the execute_idb_command MCP tool which consolidates all IDB UI automation operations into a single, token-efficient dispatcher.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Always Use MCP Tools First

This is the most important rule: When automating UI interactions, you MUST use the execute_idb_command MCP tool.

  • DO: Invoke execute_idb_command for all UI automation, element finding, and accessibility queries
  • DO: If the MCP tool fails, adjust parameters and retry
  • DO: Read error messages and debug the parameters
  • NEVER: Fall back to bash idb commands
  • NEVER: Use idb directly in bash
  • NEVER: Run idb commands in a terminal

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
