👾 Open Computer Use – Open-Source Alternative to Codex Computer Use
What it solves
open-computer-use provides an open-source way for AI agents to interact with a computer's user interface (UI) across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It allows agents to perform actions like listing apps, getting app states, and pressing keys, enabling them to operate the OS regardless of the platform.
How it works
The project is implemented as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) service. This means any MCP-compatible AI agent or client (such as Codex, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI) can connect to it and use its tools to control the computer. On macOS, it leverages Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions to interact with the system non-intrusively.
Who it’s for
Developers building AI agents that need to operate a desktop environment, as well as users of MCP-compatible clients who want to add computer-control capabilities to their AI assistants.
Highlights
- Cross-platform support: Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
- MCP-native: Wrapped as an MCP service for easy integration with various AI agents.
- Extensible installation: Includes built-in commands to quickly install into popular agents like Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI.
- Cursor Motion system: Includes an open-source cursor motion system specifically for macOS.
