Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a HotkeylessAHK MCP Skill key (sign up on the maker’s site, may cost money) · Install Node.js on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

  1. Install Node.js

    One time only; it works for every server that needs Node.js

    Open the Node.js download page ↗

  2. Sign up and create a HotkeylessAHK MCP Skill key

    Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. It may cost money.

    How to get a key is in the maker’s README below

  3. Open the Claude desktop app’s settings file

    SettingsDeveloperEdit Config

  4. Paste these settings and save the file

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "hotkeylessahk-skill": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "-y",
            "@tim0_12432/hotkeyless-ahk-mcp-server"

            "ENDPOINT_TRIGGER": "your-value"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Paste the key only into the app’s field, never into a chat or to anyone

  5. Quit Claude and open it again

  6. Try it

    Use HotkeylessAHK MCP Skill and tell me what you can do for me, then show me one thing

Common questions

Is HotkeylessAHK MCP Skill safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.8) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?
