1,620 ★148 forksSwiftUpdated 8d ago
What you need to know
Open-source "Computer Use" service wrapped as MCP — any AI agent or MCP client can use it to drive the desktop (non-intrusive CUA built on Accessibility, inspired by OpenAI Codex Computer Use) on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Install
npm i -g open-computer-use
open-computer-use install-codex-mcp / install-claude-mcp / install-gemini-mcp / install-opencode-mcp
Manual client config: { "mcpServers": { "open-computer-use": { "command": "open-computer-use", "args": ["mcp"] } } }Usage
- •Run `open-computer-use` (or `ocu`) once; on macOS grant Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions first
- •Install into your agent with the per-client install command, then ask it to operate the computer
- •Call a single tool: open-computer-use call list_apps
- •Run a sequence: open-computer-use call --calls '[{"tool":"get_app_state","args":{"app":"TextEdit"}},...]'
Key features
- ✓Computer Use MCP tools (list_apps, get_app_state, press_key, etc.) usable by any MCP client
- ✓Works with Codex App/CLI, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, and opencode
- ✓One-command installers that write MCP config for Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and opencode
- ✓Separate open-source Cursor Motion cursor-motion system for macOS
- ✓Installable as a skill (npx skills add iFurySt/open-codex-computer-use)
Caveats
- ⚠macOS runtime requires macOS 14.0 or later
- ⚠macOS requires Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions (Windows/Linux do not)
- ⚠Beta software
