Test the MCP connection

Start with this read-only prompt in your configured client, with Desktop apps enabled:

Use Braus to report permission status, list running applications and list the open windows of one application. Do not open, move, click or change anything.

Confirm that the client actually calls Braus’ tools and returns their results. A saved configuration alone does not prove a working connection.

For a later operation, name the app, the window and the intended result. For example:

Use Braus in Pro Tools. In the I/O Setup window, select Output Busses in the All Busses filter. Observe first, verify the resulting value, and stop if the target is ambiguous. Do only this operation.

That application and window must already be available, and the selected Braus build must permit the operation. Client connectivity does not establish compatibility with every application or macOS build.

Braus supplies workflow instructions when the MCP session starts. Agents call task_begin with your request before desktop or browser work, then task_end with completed, failed or interrupted. status, apps and windows are available without a task. Calling a task completed does not by itself show that a UI action succeeded, nor qualify it for learning.
