Open Computer Use

Open source computer use MCP server for macOS, Linux and Windows

About

Open Computer Use is an MIT licensed project by iFurySt (Leo) that wraps computer use as an MCP server. It reads app state through accessibility APIs instead of only screenshots, so agents can click, type and press keys in real apps without taking over your whole screen. It has passed 2,700 GitHub stars.

## What it does The server exposes tools such as `list_apps`, `get_app_state` and `press_key`, so an agent can inspect a running app, find an element by index and act on it. On macOS it also supports Locked Use: it can unlock a locked Mac temporarily so the agent keeps working, with a full screen shield in place. ## Install `npm i -g open-computer-use`, then run `ocu` once on macOS to grant Accessibility and Screen Recording. Wire it into your agent with `ocu install-claude-mcp`, `ocu install-codex-mcp`, `ocu install-gemini-mcp` or `ocu install-opencode-mcp`, or add `{"command": "open-computer-use", "args": ["mcp"]}` to any MCP config. ## Extras There is a companion skill (`npx skills add iFurySt/open-computer-use --skill open-computer-use`), a `doctor` command for permissions, and a `call` command to test single tools or sequences from the shell.
