FAQ from Hotkeyless Ahk Mcp

What runtime dependencies does Hotkeyless Ahk Mcp require?

It requires Node.js (to run npx or the built server) and a running instance of Hotkeyless AHK (listening on http://localhost:42800 by default).

How can I restrict which commands the server may invoke?

Set the BLACKLIST environment variable to a comma‑separated list of commands to block, for example "shutdown,restart,kill".

Does the server cache the list of available commands?

Yes, by default the command list is cached for 5000 ms. The cache time can be changed via the CACHE_TTL_MS environment variable.

What transport protocol does Hotkeyless Ahk Mcp use?

The MCP server runs as a local process using the standard input/output transport (stdio) for communicating with the MCP client.

Where does the server store or access user data?

The server does not store data itself; it only forwards commands to the Hotkeyless AHK HTTP API running on the local machine. All command execution happens on the user's system.
