go_computer_use_mcp_server

WARNING

This server is intended to run as atrusted local MCP tool.
It currently provides broad local desktop control and is not sandboxed by default.
Do not expose it to untrusted networks, users, or agents without additional security controls.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Go for computer automation. Uses robotgo library for desktop automation.

Features

  • Mouse control: movement, clicks, dragging, scrolling

  • Keyboard control: key presses, text input, hotkeys

  • Screen operations: screenshots, pixel color, display information

  • Window management: move, resize, minimize/maximize

  • Process management: list processes, search, terminate

  • System utilities: system info, dialogs, delays

Quick Start with npx

The easiest way to run the server is via npx (requires Node.js 18+):

# Run with stdio transport (for MCP clients)
npx go-computer-use-mcp-server -t stdio

# Run with SSE transport
npx go-computer-use-mcp-server -t sse -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8080

Integration with AI Tools

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Using CLI command:

claude mcp add computer-use -- npx -y go-computer-use-mcp-server -t stdio
claude mcp add --transport stdio \
  --env DISPLAY="$DISPLAY" \
  --env XAUTHORITY="${XAUTHORITY:-$HOME/.Xauthority}" \
  computer-use -- \
  npx -y go-computer-use-mcp-server -t stdio

Or add manually to your project's .mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

OpenCode

Add to your opencode.jsonc configuration file:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "computer-use": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Codex (OpenAI)

Using CLI command:

codex mcp add computer-use -- npx -y go-computer-use-mcp-server -t stdio

Or add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.computer-use]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"]
env_vars = ["DISPLAY", "XAUTHORITY"]

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP configuration. Go to Cursor Settings > Features > MCP Servers and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/mcp_config.json or via Settings > Cascade > MCP Servers > Add Server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code Extension)

Click the MCP Servers icon in Cline panel, select "Configure" tab, then "Configure MCP Servers" to edit cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-use": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "go-computer-use-mcp-server", "-t", "stdio"],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}
