01 · Install Computer Use

Claude Code

claude mcp add domdomegg-computer-use-mcp -- npx -y computer-use-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "domdomegg-computer-use-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "computer-use-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · Claude Desktop extension (.mcpb bundle)

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package computer-use-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.domdomegg is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Computer Use can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

[!WARNING] At time of writing, models make frequent mistakes and are vulnerable to prompt injections. As this MCP server gives the model complete control of your computer, this could do a lot of damage. You should therefore treat this like giving a hyperactive toddler access to your computer - you probably want to supervise it closely, and consider only doing this in a sandboxed user account.
