Intro

open-computer-use is an open-source Computer Use service wrapped as MCP; install via npm, grant macOS permissions once, then connect any MCP client.

  • Best for: developers who want reproducible, inspectable Computer Use via a local MCP service
  • Works with: macOS/Linux/Windows; MCP clients (Codex, Claude Code/Desktop, Gemini CLI, OpenCode); macOS needs Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions
  • Setup time: 10–25 minutes

Practical Notes

  • Quant: the README shows one-command installers for Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode MCP configs.
  • Quant: it includes a doctor command to validate onboarding/permissions before running actions.

Main

A safe first day:

  1. Verify permissions with open-computer-use doctor.
  2. Start with read-only tools like listing apps/windows before clicking/typing.
  3. For any destructive action (send, delete, purchase), add an explicit approval gate in your agent rules.

On macOS, you must grant Accessibility + Screen Recording once; keep the service local unless you add strong access controls.

FAQ

Q: Does it work on Windows/Linux? A: Yes—README describes support for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Q: Why does macOS need extra setup? A: Accessibility and Screen Recording are required for OS-level UI automation.

Q: How do I add it to my client? A: Use the built-in install-*-mcp commands or add an MCP server entry manually.
