Hotkeyless AHK – Invoke Commands

Send commands to the Hotkeyless AHK HTTP server to control the user's desktop.

Prerequisites

You must know the available commands before invoking anything. If you haven't already, use the hotkeyless-ahk-discovering skill first:

curl -s http://localhost:42800/list

Only invoke commands that appear in the /list response.

Invoking a command

Without parameters

curl -s http://localhost:42800/send/<command>

Example:

curl -s http://localhost:42800/send/OpenBrowser

With parameters

Pass parameters as query string values separated by ?:

curl -s http://localhost:42800/send/<command>?param1?param2

Example:

curl -s http://localhost:42800/send/MoveMouse?500?300

Note: Parameters are separated by ?, not &. This is specific to Hotkeyless AHK.

Response handling

Response	Meaning	Action
`success`	Command was forwarded to AHK	Confirm to user
`failure`	No AHK subscriber or command not found	Check if AHK script is running

If you receive failure:

Tell the user the AHK subscriber may not be running
Suggest they check that the Hotkeyless AHK AutoHotkey script is active
Do not retry more than once

Configuration

Default URL: http://localhost:42800
The user may specify a different host or port

Rules

Never guess command names. Only use commands from /list.
Never invoke kill unless the user explicitly asks to shut down the Hotkeyless AHK server.
Ask before bulk actions. If a task requires more than 5 sequential commands (e.g. gameplay automation), confirm the plan with the user first.
No feedback loop. You cannot see the screen. If you need visual confirmation of results, tell the user or suggest a screenshot MCP tool.
