computer-agent-mcp

A black-box desktop automation MCP server — give it a task, it handles the screenshots, coordinates, and clicks internally, and returns the result.

PyPI version Python License: MIT

中文说明

How It Works

Unlike typical computer-use tools that expose raw screenshots to the host agent, computer-agent-mcp runs the entire vision loop server-side:

  1. Captures the current screen

  2. Sends the screenshot + task context to an internal vision model

  3. Receives observations, action plans, and coordinate mappings

  4. Executes actions locally with visible mouse trajectories

  5. Repeats until the task is done — then returns a structured result

The host agent never sees a screenshot. It just sends a task and gets back a result.

Features

  • Task-level API — one call to complete a desktop task, no multi-turn screenshot protocol

  • Server-side vision loop — screenshots, coordinate mapping, and action execution all handled internally

  • Human override detection — stops immediately when a real user touches the keyboard or mouse

  • Step-by-step debug recording — full event timeline, screenshots, and model request/response logs

  • Works with any OpenAI-compatible vision model — bring your own endpoint and model

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Windows

  • Python >= 3.11

  • An OpenAI-compatible API key

Install & Run

The quickest way to start:

uvx computer-agent-mcp \
  --api-key sk-... \
  --base-url https://api.openai.com/v1 \
  --model gpt-5.4

Or install via pip:

pip install computer-agent-mcp
computer-agent-mcp \
  --api-key sk-... \
  --base-url https://api.openai.com/v1 \
  --model gpt-5.4

MCP Host Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "computer-agent": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "computer-agent-mcp",
        "--base-url",
        "https://api.openai.com/v1",
        "--model",
        "gpt-5.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "COMPUTER_AGENT_OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
      }
    }
  }
}
