Exo Control

Exo Control — realtime PC eyes and hands for any AI agent. Compact. Leased. Honest.

Announce-GA cleared 2026-08-11 for v0.1. Capability bar: Jarvis OS (stamped). Prefer import exo_control; aether.* remains stable per API-STABILITY.md. P1 trails are not claimed.

Realtime desktop (UIA) + browser (DOM/CDP) + files + registry + OS infrastructure for any AI harness — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex, custom agents, scripts. Compact refs by default, batched exec, screenshots only on ask or structure miss.

Repo: ImAvgErix/ExoControl. Related app: ExoLauncher (separate).

Requirements

• Windows (primary today)

• Python 3.10+

Related MCP server: ComputerMate

Install

git clone https://github.com/ImAvgErix/ExoControl.git
cd ExoControl
pip install -e .
playwright install chromium

Preferred import: exo_control (re-exports). aether.* stays stable for v0.1 — see docs/API-STABILITY.md. CLI: exo-control (and compat aether).

Cursor (MCP)

Add to your Cursor MCP config (mcp.json or Cursor Settings → MCP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exo-control": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "exo_control.slim_mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Use a venv/python that has this package installed. MCP module: exo_control.slim_mcp_server (compat: aether.slim_mcp_server). Prefer one batched aether_exec script over chatty single clicks.

Claude Desktop (MCP)

Same server in Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exo-control": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "exo_control.slim_mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after editing. Point command at the interpreter that has the package installed if python is ambiguous.

CLI

exo-control --help
aether --help
aether windows
aether lease status
aether script steps.json

Equivalent: python -m aether.cli ….

Python

from exo_control.exec_engine import AetherExecEngine

eng = AetherExecEngine()
eng.execute([
    {"op": "lease_acquire", "agent_id": "my-agent", "task": "demo", "ttl_sec": 120},
    {"op": "launch", "name": "notepad"},
    {"op": "wait_window", "title_contains": "Notepad", "timeout": 10},
    {"op": "type", "text": "hello from exo-control"},
    {"op": "lease_release"},
])

Safety

• Desktop lease: one agent holds the hands at a time

• Destructive / kill / registry write / service mutate require confirm=true

• Hard denies: anti-cheat tampering, credential dumping, silent elevation

• Details: SECURITY.md

Status

Announce-GA cleared 2026-08-11 for v0.1. Jarvis OS stamped. Package exo-control with dual exo_control / aether.* imports. P1 trails optional and unclaimed.
