Computer MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A 1:1 replica of Claude Desktop's computer-use tool surface, for Windows and the Claude Code CLI.
A faithful 1:1 replica of Anthropic's official computer-use tool surface — shipped as a plain MCP server for Windows. It lets the Claude Code CLI (or any MCP client) drive the Windows desktop the way Claude Desktop's built-in computer-use does: screenshots, mouse / keyboard / scroll / drag / batch input, clipboard, multi-monitor, and application launch.
Once Computer is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
deactivate — end the session without killing the process (glow off, controlling window restored, grants revoked); the counterpart to request_accessdisplay_overview — one composite, labeled image of all monitors laid out per the virtual-desktop arrangement (an orientation aid for "which screen is that window on?"The server ships on PyPI as fetch, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Computer's toolset — deactivate, display_overview — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Jason26214; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

| display_overview | one composite, labeled image of all monitors laid out per the virtual-desktop arrangement (an orientation aid for "which screen is that window on?"; not a click surface). |
