💻 A Model Context Protocol server for Claude to control your computer. This is very similar to computer use, but easy to set up and use locally.
Here's Claude Haiku 4.5 changing my desktop background (4x speed):

[!WARNING] At time of writing, models make frequent mistakes and are vulnerable to prompt injections. As this MCP server gives the model complete control of your computer, this could do a lot of damage. You should therefore treat this like giving a hyperactive toddler access to your computer - you probably want to supervise it closely, and consider only doing this in a sandboxed user account.
Installation
Follow the instructions on install-mcp, which generates the right config for your MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VS Code, and more).
Tips
This should just work out of the box.
However, to get best results:
- Use a model good at computer use - I recommend the latest Claude models.
- Use a small, common resolution - 720p works particularly well. On macOS, you can use displayoverride-mac to do this. If you can't use a different resolution, try zooming in to active windows.
- Install and enable the Rango browser extension. This enables keyboard navigation for websites, which is far more reliable than Claude trying to click coordinates. You can bump up the font size setting in Rango to make the hints more visible.
How it works
We implement a near identical computer use tool to Anthropic's official computer use guide, with some more nudging to prefer keyboard shortcuts.
This talks to your computer using nut.js

Install with your agent
Paste this prompt into your agent. It reads this page and does the setup for you.
Read https://aiagentslisting.com/mcp/computer-use-mcp to learn what the "Computer Use Mcp" MCP server does and how to install it. Add it to my coding agent's MCP configuration as documented on that page, then confirm the server connects and list the tools it exposes.Agents can also browse this directory over MCP at https://aiagentslisting.com/api/mcp
This server doesn't publish a machine-readable tool manifest, and it doesn't expose a public endpoint we could ask. Connect the server locally to see what it exposes.
We could not run this server: it ships no npx package for our sandbox and no public endpoint. The four checks that need a live server are left out, and the grade tops out at B until one exists.
