Could you build this?
Partial Building a browser extension that reads DOM and speaks MCP is straightforward, but integrating desktop-level Windows UI Automation, secure single-use file handle delegation, and cross-boundary native messaging companions requires systems-level desktop engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack comprises a Chrome/Edge WebExtension communicating via Native Messaging to a local Rust or C# companion daemon that taps into Windows UI Automation (UIA) APIs and local filesystem sandbox handlers. The hard challenge is synchronizing out-of-process accessibility tree queries with browser execution frames while maintaining strict IPC security sandboxing.
