<objective> Send a mouse click event to a specific position in a Tauri application window. Useful for UI automation and testing. </objective>

<instructions> Send mouse click to the Tauri application: **$ARGUMENTS**

Arguments format: `[process_id] [x] [y] [--button left|right|middle]`

• `process_id`: Required - the process ID from `/tauri:launch`
• `x`: Required - X coordinate (pixels from left edge)
• `y`: Required - Y coordinate (pixels from top edge)
• `--button`: Optional - mouse button (default: left)

Process

1. **Verify Window State** Use `mcp__tauri-mcp__get_window_info` to confirm window is visible and focused.

2. **Take Pre-Click Screenshot** (if helpful) Capture state before the click for debugging.

3. **Send the Click** Use `mcp__tauri-mcp__send_mouse_click` with:

• `process_id`: Target process
• `x`: X coordinate
• `y`: Y coordinate
• `button`: "left", "right", or "middle"

4. **Verify Result** Optionally take a post-click screenshot to confirm the action worked.

Usage Examples

# Left click at coordinates
/tauri:click 12345 100 200

# Right click (context menu)
/tauri:click 12345 100 200 --button right

# Click a specific button (find coords from screenshot first)
/tauri:screenshot 12345
# Identify button at (150, 300)
/tauri:click 12345 150 300

</instructions>

<output_format>

=== Mouse Click Sent ===
Process: [PID]
Position: ([x], [y])
Button: [left/right/middle]

Window Size: [width]x[height]
Click Within Bounds: [yes/no]

</output_format>

<workflow_tip> **Finding Coordinates:** 1. Take a screenshot: `/tauri:screenshot [pid]` 2. Open the image and identify the target element 3. Note the approximate x,y coordinates 4. Send the click: `/tauri:click [pid] [x] [y]` 5. Verify with another screenshot

**For Repeated Testing:** Consider using `/tauri:exec-js` to click elements by selector instead:

document.querySelector('#my-button').click()

</workflow_tip>

<troubleshooting> **Click doesn't register:**

• Verify coordinates are within window bounds
• Ensure window is focused and visible
• Try clicking center of element, not edges

**Wrong element clicked:**

• Take a fresh screenshot to verify current state
• Remember coordinates are relative to window, not screen

</troubleshooting>
