About Open Computer Use

Open Computer Use turns local desktop automation into a standard MCP service. It lets Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, opencode, and custom MCP clients inspect apps, click, type, scroll, drag, and take screenshots across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It is open source, npm-installable, and designed to bring the non-intrusive Codex Computer Use experience to any agent stack.
