Open Computer UseGive any AI agent full desktop control with one open standard

Open Computer Use

Open Computer Use is an open-source alternative to OpenAI's Codex Computer Use, enabling AI agents to control your desktop through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides non-intrusive computer automation using native accessibility APIs across macOS, Linux, and Windows without requiring complex setup or virtual machines.

Product Highlights

• Cross-Platform Support: Run Computer Use automation seamlessly on macOS, Linux, and Windows with a unified interface.
• MCP Integration: Works as an MCP server with Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible client.
• Non-Intrusive Design: Built on accessibility APIs rather than screen scraping, ensuring reliable and privacy-respecting automation.
• Cursor Motion System: Includes an open-source cursor visualization tool for macOS that enhances the automation experience.
• One-Command Installation: Simple npm global install with automatic configuration for popular AI coding tools.

Use Cases

• AI-Assisted Development: Let AI agents navigate IDEs, run tests, and manage development workflows hands-free.
• Automated Testing: Execute end-to-end GUI tests across different operating systems without writing complex scripts.
• Accessibility Automation: Create voice-controlled or AI-driven interfaces for users with mobility limitations.
• Cross-Platform DevOps: Standardize desktop automation workflows across heterogeneous development environments.

Target Audience

Open Computer Use is designed for developers, QA engineers, and AI researchers who want to integrate desktop automation into their AI agent workflows without vendor lock-in or expensive proprietary solutions.
