What is it?

AstronRPA is a Robotic Process Automation desktop application for building workflows that operate Windows desktop programs and web pages. Workflows are assembled in a visual, drag-and-drop designer, so business users can take part in automation alongside developers. The project provides more than 300 prebuilt atomic capabilities covering UI operations, data processing and system interactions.

It targets common office and enterprise software, including WPS, Office, Kingdee, YonYou, and browsers such as IE, Edge and Chrome. Workflows can be started directly, on a schedule, through API calls or via MCP services. The project is also integrated with the Astron Agent platform, so RPA nodes can be called from agents and agent workflows can be run inside AstronRPA.

The repository includes a Docker-based server deployment with MySQL and Casdoor authentication, plus a Vue 3 and Electron client built from source or installed from release packages. The client is documented for Windows 10/11.
