Machine Control Gives Coding Agents a Cross-Platform Test Lab
An open-source project for building, launching, inspecting, and verifying applications across virtual machines and physical Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android targets.
Field notes
The project presents a target-native control layer rather than a generic desktop stream. Its examples include `mc targets` and an interactive iOS snapshot, while the support matrix separates guest operating systems from controller hosts and names UTM, QEMU, Tart, KVM, and libvirt for VM work. Physical routes are described through mechanisms including XCTest, ADB, CDP, and ChromeOS automation. Windows Hyper-V hosting is identified as planned rather than current.
