Hotkeyless Ahk Invoke

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/

Example:

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

With parameters

Pass parameters as query string values separated by ?:

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

1. Tell the user the AHK subscriber may not be running
2. Suggest they check that the Hotkeyless AHK AutoHotkey script is active
3. 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.
