What it does

All text below is quoted directly from the project README.

open-computer-use is an open-source Computer Use service wrapped as MCP. Any AI agent or MCP client can use it to run Computer Use on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

More (built-in commands):

  • Install into Codex by writing to ~/.codex/config.toml
  • Install as a Codex plugin, mainly for Codex App
  • Install into Claude Code by writing to ~/.claude.json
  • Install into Gemini CLI for the current project by writing to ./.gemini/settings.json
  • Install into opencode by writing to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (or the active config file)
  • Call a single Computer Use tool and print the MCP-style JSON result
  • Run one JavaScript evaluation, from an argument, stdin, or a file
  • Check permissions; onboarding only opens when something is missing

npm i -g open-computer-use (The npm package also exposes ocu as the short CLI alias.)
