Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping MCP servers and standard CLI utilities is quick to vibe-code, integrating deeply with macOS accessibility trees, CGEvent synthetic input, and permissions requires nuanced low-level OS knowledge.
What it would actually take: Built in Swift, Objective-C, or Rust/Node via native bindings to macOS ApplicationServices and CoreGraphics APIs. The core technical hurdle is handling AXUIElement hierarchy traversal across complex UI frameworks, translating screen coordinate systems, and reliably injecting inputs while complying with macOS TCC security constraints.
