In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@windows-computer-use-mcpOpen Notepad and type 'Hello World', then take a screenshot"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
windows-computer-use-mcp
A tool for agents, and an agent itself.
You | It |
Use it as an MCP server | Claude, Cursor, DeepSeek call |
Use it as an autonomous agent | Give it a goal: |
Use it as a webapp |
|
Use it as a desktop app | The NSIS installer bundles everything into one binary — no Python, no uv, no git needed |
Exhibit A: 100 Tauri/NSIS installers, one unattended run, $2 in LLM costs. Install, screenshot, verify, report — zero human intervention. That is what agentic Windows automation looks like at scale.
Built on pywinauto. Read docs/SAFETY.md before production use.
Quick Start
Method | Command / Config |
MCP stdio (Cursor, Claude Desktop) |
|
HTTP streamable (any MCP HTTP client) |
|
Web operator UI |
|
Desktop app (NSIS installer) | Download from Releases — zero deps |
See INSTALL.md for detailed setup. Run just demo for examples.

Features
Window Management — find, activate, maximize, minimize, position, close
Mouse & Keyboard — click, drag, type, hotkeys, app shortcuts
UI Elements — inspect, click, read text, verify state via UIA / Win32
Visual Intelligence — screenshots, OCR, template matching
Autonomous Missions — give it a goal, it plans and executes with retry + verification
Macro Recording — record any UI sequence, replay, verify outcomes
Multi-App Workflows — chain actions across Notepad, Calc, Paint, or any Windows app
Telemetry — every action logged to SQLite; query failure patterns by tool
Adaptive Location — auto-cascades through title/auto_id/control_id/class/OCR to find elements
Face Recognition — optional, off by default

Browser vs desktop: This server drives Win32 / UI Automation. For HTML/DOM and websites, pair with browser-mcp (Playwright). Both MCPs can run side by side — use one profile that loads both and let the LLM pick the right tool for the target.
