💻 The computer-use-mcp project provides a model context protocol (MCP) server that lets Claude control your computer through screen capture, mouse, and keyboard actions. It emulates a near-identical interface to Anthropic's official computer-use guide, but is tailored for local setup and easier experimentation. The server communicates with the host using nut.js, enabling programmatic control of input devices and screen imagery. It is designed to be run locally and is compatible with multiple client tools, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline, each with JSON config snippets showing how to launch the MCP server with npx and the 'computer-use-mcp' package. The README also advises best practices, such as preferring keyboard shortcuts over mouse actions, and using the Rango extension to improve web navigation reliability. There is a strong emphasis on security and supervising the tool, especially given the potential risks of giving a model control over a real machine. The project provides workflow guidance: install, configure, test, and build.
