💻 Give AI models complete control of your computer (probably a bad idea)

What you need to know
MCP server for Claude to control your computer — a near-identical implementation of Anthropic's computer use tool, but easy to set up and use locally, built on nut.js.
Install
npx -y computer-use-mcp (the install-mcp page generates the right config for your MCP client) Clone + npm install + npm run build for development
Usage
- •Add computer-use-mcp to your MCP client config (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and more)
- •For best results use a model good at computer use (the latest Claude models), a small common resolution (720p works well; displayoverride-mac on macOS), and install the Rango browser extension so the model prefers keyboard navigation over clicking coordinates
Key features
- ✓Full computer control (mouse and keyboard) via nut.js, similar to Anthropic's official computer use guide
- ✓Nudges the model to prefer keyboard shortcuts over coordinate clicking
- ✓Zero-config out of the box
Caveats
- ⚠Explicit warning in README: models make frequent mistakes and are vulnerable to prompt injections; the server gives the model complete control of your computer and could do a lot of damage — supervise closely and consider a sandboxed user account
